Abner Dilley, 1814-1903
Armilda (Russell) Dilley, 1818-1900
Both are buried at Woodland Cemetery in Ironton, Lawrence
County, Ohio.
Abner Dilley filed for his homestead land in 1830 in
Lawrence County, Ohio. It is said that Ironton was later
located on his property and he profited grandly from this situation.
Abner married Armilda Russell on 08 January 1837 in lawrence
County, Ohio. They had 7 children. Sarilda Jane Dilley
married Lorenzo D. Markin. Although Sarilda Jane died a
year before her father, Abner, she gave the plot to him in her
will since Armilda had already been buried there. Another
daughter, Charity Ella Dilley Allen, left Kansas in 1900 and stayed
in Ironton with her family from 1900 to 1903 when Abner died.
When he died, he had almost $10,000.00 in cash alone in
his estate, most of which went to Charity Ella Dilley Allen.
