Saturday afternoon,
Mr. Dietrich was born April 28,
1866, being one of a family of twelve children born to the late John and Sarah
Dietrich, who moved from a farm near Welcome,
Both parents lived to realize
the glory of age, that of seeing their children out in the world making good,
and took a just pride therein.
Recognized by reason of
character, ability and personality, Mr. Dietrich served his community in
various capacities. Not only was he a faithful member of The Methodist Church
at Hannibal, but he served on the church board for many years, also as member
of the township school board and as township trustee, he was instrumental in
securing
better school facilities and road improvement in his community. From 1912
to 1916 he served as county commissioner and at the time of his death was a
member of the county board of education, and had been for nine years. In both
larger spheres he was an advocate of improvement and progress.
Mr. and Mrs. Dietrich took life
in its stride, including the solicitude of those in military service of two
wars. His son, Donald C. Dietrich, now treasurer and general manager of The
Wheeling Wholesale Grocery Co. and member of
Funeral services were held
Tuesday afternoon at The Rush Funeral Home in Clarington in charge of his
pastor, Rev. Kenneth Evans, and were largely attended. Sympathy and esteem of
friends were evidenced by many floral offerings from individuals and
organizations.
Interment was made in the family
lot in The Buckhill Cemetery, near the late residence.
Up to the day of his death, Mr.
Dietrich's habitual energy, self-reliance and desire to be useful characterized
his daily life. He refused to retire in the usual sense of the word, and was
carrying a farm program worthy the effort of a man many years his junior.

In loving memory of my dear mother, Mrs. Nora Truax, who
departed this
life one year ago today, June 28, 1944.
On and oft, my heart does wander
To a grave and far away,
Where they laid my dear mother
Just one year ago today.
When the evening shadows are falling
And I am sitting all alone,
There comes to me a longing
If only she could come back home.
A happy home we once enjoyed,
How sweet the memory still,
But death has left a lonliness
The world can never heal.
Sleep on, dear Mother,
Sleep on and be at rest,
The ones who of you are thinking
Are the ones who loved you best.
