Additional Information:
Eddie and
Josie Dimick, children of Otis Dimick, a prominent
Rock Island businessman, both died on Oct. 22, 1878, of diphtheria.
At first the family dog would visit their graves when the family
visited. But soon he visited their graves every day, staying
from sunrise to sunset. When the dog died, the family
erected a monument memorializing his dedication.
Any contributions, corrections, or
suggestions would be deeply appreciated!
