HENRY DILLMAN DEAD AT BANGOR; FUNERAL TODAY

FATHER OF FORMER STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER DIES AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS

BANGOR - Funeral rites are being held at the Sherrod chapel this (Wednesday) afternoon for Henry Dillman, 76, father of former State Highway Commissioner Grover C. Dillman and prominently known resident of this section. Burial will be in Arlington Hill cemetery.

His death followed an illness of four weeks. Although his condition was known to be hopeless, his death Saturday evening came several days earlier than physicians expected. An only daughter, Mrs. Edna Irwin of Galien, O., was alone with him at the time.

Grover Dillman, now president of Michigan college of Mining and Technology, was with his father until 2 o'clock Saturday morning, leaving hurriedly for the bedside of his youngest daughter, Helen Anne, who is critically ill of a mastoid infection. He learned of his father's death at Houghton, in the upper peninsula, Sunday morning.

Mr. Dillman was born in Jenera, O., July 1, 1860, and came to Bangor when four years old with his parents, Adam and Katherine Dillman. The family resided here two years and then settled on what later became known as the Dillman homestead west of town, where Mr. Dillman resided until the death of his wife, Ada, a few years ago. At that time he disposed of his farm property and moved to Bangor where he became prominent in civic affairs, serving efficiently as councilman and village president. He was also active in local and district Democratic politics.

He enjoyed a wide friendship in various parts of the state as was shown by flowers and messages of esteem received at his modest home during the weeks of illness.

The son and daughter and two grandchildren survive.
