Newspaper clipping April 24, 1943: MRS. DOLLY RITTENBERG, RESIDENT OF COUNTY 80 YEARS, IS SUMMONED. Eighty years of lifetime spent entirely in Whatcom County, starting in the days when there were no roads and only a few scattered whites, came to a close last Thursday for Mrs. Dolly Patterson Rittenberg, who for many years has been known as the oldest living settler in Whatcom County. Death came in a local hospital, after a short illness, but the aged pioneer had made her home in Lynden, where she was born four score years ago, in 1863. Surviving relatives are a daughter, Mrs. Nellie Nims, at Deming; a son, Bob, in Bellingham, and a sister, Mrs. Nellie McDonald, living at Renton. Also there are several grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren. FUNERAL MONDAY Funeral services will be held Monday at 2 p. m. at the Knapp & Knapp parlors in Lynden with Rev, Paul R. Campbell officiating. Internment will be in the Lynden cemetery
