Burial

It is assumed that Amanda (Page) Dillingham is buried in either the Dillingham Cemetery or the Kimball Cemetery in Liberty Township, Porter Co., Indiana, as her obituary states that she was buried "in the cemetery near by" her son-in-law's home. Her son-in-law is mentioned as Nathan Kimball; therefore, Amanda was most likely buried in the Kimball Cemetery. Neither the Dillingham Cemetery nor the Kimball Cemetery, however, show tombstone or written records of a burial for Amanda Dillingham. There is also no burial record listed for Amanda's husband, Henry Dillingham, in either of these two cemeteries. Neither Amanda nor Henry appear in any other cemetery index prepared for other Porter County, Indiana, cemeteries.
