"... Miss Minnie Dillman departed this life Thursday morning, September 26, at the home of her adopted parents, Mr. and Mrs. Black, four miles west of Auburn, Kan., aged 22 years. The cause of her death was consumption. Funeral services were conducted at the Wakarusa Valley Congregational Church by Rev. J. E. McClain, and the remains of one whom the entire community learned to love was laid away in the Auburn Cemetery, to which place a large concourse of friends followed. The deceased died triumphant in the faith of Him who called her, and passed to glory rejoicing in the efficacy of a dear Redeemer, who has promised to never forsake. She leaves to mourn three brothers in Oklahoma and three sisters, all of them married, one of which was with her during her life's close."
When her mother died, she continued to live with her father and siblings. In 1878, her father, Henry, died. The youngest children were split up and sent to live with other families.
