Obituary—Dinwiddie
Daniel B. Dinwiddie, an old resident of this county, died at his home in Oregon Sunday, March 7th. The Benton County Review contained the following obituary:
“Daniel B. Dinwiddie was born in Hancock county, Indiana, April 30, 1834. He was married to Eliza Watson August 16, 1885. To this union four children were born, the eldest dying in infancy, the youngest one the age of seven years. The living daughter is Margaret Jane Murfin, who lives at Albia, Iowa. The son, William W. Dinwiddie, lives in the Auxiliary district. Mr. Dinwiddie has lived with this son ever since his wife’s death in 1886. In 1857 the deceased moved to Iowa and in 1886 moved to Sherman county, Kansas and in 1914 moved to Cottage Grove, Oregon. He was converted in 1861 and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian church, in which he was ruling elder for 24 years. When he moved to Kansas he joined the United Brethren church and has been a faithful member ever since. He leaves 10 grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. He was highly respected by all who knew him. The funeral was conducted by President Epley of the College, and the body interred in Newton cemetery.”
The above obituary was handed us by Edgar Drake, who has been in correspondence with the deceased since his removal to Oregon.

Editor’s note: The date of death as reported in the Goodland Republic article (March 7) was an error and the Corvallis Gazette-Times item suggests that Mr. Dinwiddie died Feb. 29. However, the Oregon State Board of Health certificate of death shows that he died March 1.
