From the Centennial History of Susquehanna County:
Miss Lydia C. Dimock, daughter of Elder D. Dimock, was born at Montrose July 6, 1811, and married to Leonard Searle Oct. 23, 1832. She was educated in Hamilton Baptist Academy, N.Y., and early gave indications of a taste for literary pursuits.
At the time of her death, A.K. McClure, of the Philadelphia Times, wrote of her: "She has been for more than half a century one of the leading literary as well as social characters of Northern Pennsylvania. With all the tenderness of a woman and a most devoted wife and mother, she had a strong love literature and singular fitness for literary labor. Her scrapbooks, both of politics and of the choice productions of the most gifted poets and authors, are among the most complete to be found in any library, and her original articles were marked by unusual force and excellence. No woman of the northern portion of the State will be more widely or more gratefully remembered than Mrs. Searle, of Montrose, and her life and character will long be pointed to as among the noblest of examples."
She was a Christian lady, with a deep charity for all.
