Bio

Married 1st to E. Victor Butler Dikeman, abt 1858. Married Amos R Wellet abt 1886, Dawaon, Nebraska.*** E. VICTOR BUTLER & LYDIA MOORE DIKEMAN (WELLET) E. Victor Butler Dikeman was born in the Year of our Lord, 1835, in Bradford, McKean County, Pennsylvania, just south of the New York state border, to parents William Dikeman and Polly Tiffany. The Dikeman family consisted of 12 children, being an equal amount of each gender. E. Victor was the second to youngest, and the youngest Dikeman boy. The Dikeman family is said to be of German descent. E. Victor's father William was a farmer, who lived to be 95 years of age. Around 1858, shortly before the war between the states, E. Victor married Ms. Lydia B. Moore. Lydia was born in Erie County, New York, in the Spring of 1834, on the 23rd day of April. Their first son, William Amos was born (1860-1942). Benjamin Aranson was born next (1861-1917). On 1 July, 1963, E. Victor registered for Civil War service. Two months later, on 29 August, 1863, His oldest brother, Samuel P. Dikeman, was killed in North Carolina while serving with Union forces there. (Samuel's stone is misspelled Samuel P "Dickeman", in the New Berne Cemetery where he is buried). (It is not known if E. Victor served in the Civil War, or not) In 1870, E. Victor was 35 years of age, and listed in the U.S. Census as a successful farmer in McKean County, Pennsylvania. In the winter of 1870, Samuel F. Dikeman was born into the Dikeman family (1870-1907). Sometime after Samuel's birth in 1870, the Dikeman family braved the long journey west, and set up in Lexington, Dawson County, Nebraska. In 1877, Lydia gave birth to Hattie P. Dikeman, who died at the age of 4, in 1881. Lydia would have been around 43 years old at the time of Hattie's birth. In 1880, the Dikeman family is listed in the federal census as farmers, still living in Dawson County (Wood River) Nebraska, as well as the 1885 Nebraska Census. E. Victor passed away in the Fall of 1886, on 4 October, at just 51 years of age. Lydia remarried, a Mr. Amos R. Wellet, from Ohio (Amos is buried in Sumner Cemetery). Ms Lydia died just two days shy of her birthday, on 21 April, 1906, at the age of 71 years, 363 days. Lydia and E. Victor rest peacefully together, at Evergreen Cemetery in Dawson County, Nebraska. ***
