She died April 4, 1925 at Lyons, NE Obituary: Andrew Dill. Plattsmouth Journal July 31, 1917. Another old citizen has passed away. Andrew Dill, Jr. For Forty-One years a resident of Cass County died in his home in the city Saturday night. Andrew Dill, one of the old residents of Cass County passed away last night at 9:40 at the home on Elm Street after an illness covering several weeks. Mr. Dill although only a few days of eighty-seven years of life, was a man of splendid vitality and strength, and though death has been slowly approaching for the past few days, his wonderful strength endured until the last, worn with the struggle of life, he passed peacefully over the river that marks the boundary of Eternity. Andrew Dill has been a resident of Cass County for forty-one years having crossed the Missouri River at this place with his family on February 10, 1876 and at once located on a homestead near where the town of Murray is now located and here Mr. Dill resided for many years, rearing his family and taking an active part in the development and resources of the county, A man of sterling character he won the respect and esteem of all those whom he came in contact with and his death will come a distinct loss to the old friends and neighbors with whom he associated for so many years. Some twenty four years ago Mr. Dill and his wife moved from the farm to Plattsmouth to spend their declining years to the enjoyment of a well deserved rest from their toil and have since made their home in this city. Few men have left behind a clearer record of their dealings with their fellow men than has the departed and his passing is a loss to the community that will be hard to replace and one that occasions the most profound regret throughout the City. To mourn the death of this good man, there remains a widow and four children: Mrs. Alice Hipp of Lyons, NE; Ben Dill, Murray, NE; Mrs. Hattie Davis, Haxtum, CO; and Riley C. Dill, Rosalie, NE. A half brother Bennett Chriswisser and a half sister Mrs. Rachel Colvin of Nehawka NE also left to mourn his death. The funeral service of Mr. Dill will be held tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock at Eight Mile Grove where the family formerly resided and interment will be in the cemetery there. Rev. W.A. Taylor, pastor of the Baptist Church will officiate. There will be a short prayer service at the home at one o'clock before the cortege leaves for Eight Mile Grove.
