Martha married Daniel Dill 10-29-1884 at Union Co., OR Vol D pg 175 record #159126 I then found on the California Death Index, her son had died in San Francisco. George Daniel Dill b. 3/2/1894 WA d. 2/23/1957 San Fransico Co., CA. mothers maiden name :BROWER I requested a volunteer to lookup the newspaper Obt, and it arrived today. San Francisco Examiner, Feb 25, 1957, page ii-19 Dill- In this city, Feb 23, 1957. George D. Dill, beloved husband of Harriet M. Dill, loving brother of Nancy Dill of Bellingham , WA, and the late Mary annd John Dill: a native of Washington. aged 62 yrs., A member of University Lodge No. 141, F. & A. M. of Seattle, WA. Friends are invited to attend the funeral service, 1 pm Tuesday, Feb 26, under the auspices of Occidental Lodge No. 22, F. & A. M., at Gray's, Divisadero st. at Post. From this obit we can tell: 1. He was an adult living in Seattle, prior to coming to San Francisco. 2. He has a sister Nancy Dill still living as of 2/25/1957 in Bellingham, WA 3. He had a sister Mary Dill, who is dead as of 2/25/1957 4. He had a brother John Dill who is dead as of 2/25/1957 5. He has a wife Harriet M. Dill, who is alive as of 2/25/1957 6. He is an active Mason, afflitated with a Seattle Lodge and a San Fransico Lodge. Other information about him: His father was Daniel Dill His mother was Martha Brower b.1852 MO Martha was the daughter of Jeremiah Brower b. 1801 NYand Nancy Weaver Swindle b. 1815 NC. Jeremiah Brower was also a Mason, of a very high level in Iowa. Jeremiah Brower (sr.) died 1875 Wayne Co. IA. Martha Brower was seen in the 1880 census at Wayne Co. IA with her Mother and sister Cynthia Ann Brower. Martha Brower came from Iowa with her sisters: Emma/Emily Brower, Amanda Brower, and their widowed mother Mrs. Nancy Brower, and their brother Jeremiah Buchanon Brower, who died in 1916 at Portland, OR. They first lived in La Grande, Union Co. OR. Emma and Amanda and Martha all married in La Grande. Emma married John Mills. Amanda married John Farrell. Martha married Daniel Dill. Nancy Brower died in 1901 at La Grande, OR. I am hoping that some DILL researcher from Washington may be able to give information about the final resting place of Martha Brower, which is probably in WA. Also, by finding any Brower/Dill researchers in WA, perhaps we can find more Brower history from them, especially the final resting place of Nancy W. Brower, and her daughters. Best regards, Lillian Kathleen Martin
