George W. Dimick, father of Senator Walter A. Dimick, and uncle of Judge Grant B. Dimick, died early today at his home, near Oregon
City, at the age of 81 years.

Mr. Dimick was a pioneer farmer of the Willamette Valley and played an important part in developing the agricultural and livestock
industries of this section for the last 60 years. He came to Oregon in 1847 and engaged in farming. For a great many years Mr.
Dimick owned a grain and livestock farm of more than 1000 acres near Hubbard. A few years ago he retired from extensive farming and
located near Oregon City.

Mr. Dimick was an active temperance and prohibition worker and a member of the Methodist Church for more than 60 years. He was one
of the first farmers to join the Oregon State Grange, and retained his membership until his death.

Mr. Dimick was born near Springfield, Ill., April 28, 1837. Ten years later his parents crossed the plains to Oregon by ox team
and settled on the old Dimick donation land claim, near Hubbard. This claim, with considerable land acquired from time to time, was
his home for 60 years.

The funeral will be held at the family home at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. The remains will be taken to Hubbard for burial.

He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Addie Dimick, and 10 children: George D., of Salem; John A., of Hubbard; Lottie M., and Walter
A., of Oregon City; Bud, of Portland; Orrin, of Portland; Ray, of Fort Canby, and Ada, Harold and Raymond, of Woodburn.
