The youngest and fourth child of Joseph and Abigail Frisbee Dikeman, "Silas W. Dikeman, my father, was married at Cobleskill, N. Y., to Hannah L. Borst Dec. 4, 1848. Their family consisted of three boys and one girl, who was the oldest, Lewellen Estelle (Picket); Vileski Ferdinand Dikeman; Leslie Le Roy Dikemen, who died when a young man; and Loson A. Dikeman (myself). I have one son, Charles Lee Dikeman, and he has one son, Carl P. Dikeman.

My father is the S. W. that lived in the north end of the town, (lot of the Strassburg Patent). He built and carried on a foundry and machine shop, making plows, churning machines, waterwheels , sawmills, and doing general repair work. This burned up about fifty years ago and now there is nothing to show anything of the kind ever existed except some of the wall that made the dam to furnish power for the shop."
