• Notes

  According to her daughter, Maud, Kitty combed her hair with sage tea everyday so that everyone thought she had black hair until three weeks before her death. Albert Pickering nicknamed her "Roly Poly" because she was 4'9" and 140 lbs. She had a white poodle which she led on walks by carrying a sucker behind her. It worked quite well according to my father at keeping him following her. She was apparently an alcoholic, suffered with arthritis and died of a heart attack at about age 63. Her death certificate says she died of Chronic Brights Disease which is a disorder of the kidneys. (C-2, C:DOC) According to her obituary, she died at 8 o'clock in the morning on Feb. 11th. She was buried on Valentines' Day and her funeral was held at her daughter, Keturah Ritter's home. There were relatives listed in Albert Pickering Coate's Funeral Memory book in 1941 listed as Mr. and Mrs. E. Dimmack. They were Ephram and Daisy Dimmack from Middletown. According to my Dad, Albert Edward Coate, they were his 2nd cousins related to Keturah Dimmack Stevens. This could mean that they were 1st cousins once removed instead, but his family would call that relationship a second cousin. Ephram's brother was Albert Dimmack. Two of Albert's daughters had taken my father to their Episcopal Church a couple times (probably in Middletown.) (C-2078, 2517) They are also related to Dimmacks in Wheeling, WV. (C-687) I have found a birth record for a Keturah Dimmock born the same day as our Keturah in Stourbridge, Kinswinford, co. Stafford, England that could be a relative of our Keturah. The birth record takes place on Jun 10, 1855 on 392 Moorelane. Parents, John Dimmock and Seah Priest Dimmock. (C-300) There is a marriage record another Keturah Ann Dimmack that I sent for that turns out to be a cousin to our Keturah. It's for a Keturah Ann Dimmack who marries a Richard Dawes on Mar. 4, 1876 (though it looks like 1846 - it was indexed as 1876) in Saint Peters Church, Wolverhampton Parish, co. Staffordshire, England. Her father is listed as Mathias Dimmack (our Keturah's Uncle) who was a horse dealer. There is a Benjamin Dimmack in the London, England 1871 census, age 23, born in Lambeth, Surrey, ENG that would be the right age to be her cousin also. He could be the Benjamin Charles Dimmack that married in 1873 in Wolverhampton District which included parts of the counties of Shropshire, Staffordshire and West Midlands. Wolverhampton District is one place where several events in this family grouping appear to be recorded.
