The announcement of the death of Sheriff DIBBLEE was a surprise to the community. 35 years of active discharge of duties. Carleton Co. has had three sheriffs since independent establishment, namely J.F.W. WINSLOW, Samuel DICKINSON and F.R. Jenkins DIBBLEE, now just deceased. Mr. Dibblle was in his 68th year. He had been out in his carriage on Friday, but on Saturday morn. he quietly died owing to heart failure. Sheriff Dibbleee was the eldest s/o late F.B. DIBBLEE and grandson of Rev. Frederick DIBBLEE who was the first rector of Woodstock. He was born in the Dibblee homestead a few miles below town, but at an early age came to Woodstock to reside with his aunt, the late Mrs. MOREHOUSE, upon whose death he inherited very valuable properties in the town, one being nearly the entire block on the corner of Main and Connell street extending to the Connell estate on the latter and to Chapel street on the former. Animated by an enterprising desire to benefit the town, he erected the large brick building known as the 'Cable House', which was subsequently destroyed by fire. The Sheriff was through life firmly attached to the Liberal party in politics. The deceased leaves a widow, a d/o late George W. CLEARY and two children - a son, Col. F.H.J. DIBBLEE and a daughter, the wife of A.B. CONNELL, Esq. At the time of his father's death, Colonel Dibblee was in Chicago and did not reach home for the funeral which took place at the parish church yard, Rev. Canon Ketchum of St. Andrews officiating. The public respect for the deceased was indicated by the several flags hanging at half mast and the closing of the stores while the processon passed through the streets. As a mark of regard to their Captain, the firemen, in full citizen's dress, formed an escort guard.
