Maria Catharine Dalrymple
 

Montpelier Examiner, Wednesday, 29 December 1897, page 3

Sunday afternoon the many friends of Mrs. H H Dalrymple Sr. were shocked to hear that she had suddenly and without the slightest warning, passed to the great beyond. She was visiting her daughter , Miss Deborah, who resides with Mr. and Mrs. E D Smith, and after partaking of a hearty meal and remarking how well she felt, went into a bedroom to lie down. Her daughter went once or twice to see how her mother was resting and found her apparently asleep. Finally after some time she undertook to arouse her, and to the young lady's surprise and great sorrow found the aged lady dead, having passed away shortly after lying down.

The deceased was born 69 years ago last October. In 1959 she was married to Mr. Dalrymple and they came to Utah, shortly afterward. In 1864 they moved to Paris, Idaho and subsequently came to Preston (Wardboro) where she has since lived.

One brother, M W Williams and a sister, Mrs McFadden both of Council Bluffs, Iowa, survive her Mr. Williams is visiting in this city at present. She leaves two sons, Henry and Mark and six daughters, Mrs. Knutti, Mrs. Perkins and Miss Addie, Deborah, Laura and Nora. Two grandchildren have resided with her since her oldest daughter died.

The funeral took place yesterday at 11 am from the LDS meeting house.
