"WARREN DIMOCK, of Menno, Hutchinson county, was born in Iowa county, Wisconsin on the 14th of September, 1859, a son of Warren S. and Lucy J. (MUNSON) DIMOCK, of whose seven children the following named five are yet living: Harry A., a druggist of Muscoda, Wisconsin; Almena, the wife of F. G. SCHWINGLE, of Avoca, that state; Asa B., who is likewise a resident of that place, being a farmer and a manufacturer; Bertha R., wife of Oscar SPICER, of Mason City, Iowa; and Warren, subject of this sketch, who is the eldest of the number. The father of the subject was born in Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, in 1819, and was there reared and educated, removing thence to Wisconsin in 1855 and settling on a farm near Avoca, Iowa county, where he was engaged in agricultural pursuits until the spring of 1903, when he removed to the village mentioned, where he is now living retired, having attained the venerable age of eighty-four years, and being well preserved in mind and physical powers. He is one of the pioneers of the Badger state, where he purchased government land soon after his arrival within its borders, and he resided continuously on the one farm for forty-eight years. He is a Democrat in politics and is a man who has ever commanded the unqualified esteem of all who know him. His wife, who was born in the same town as he was, is still by his side, being sixty-eight years of age at the time of this writing (1903). The subject of this review was reared on the homestead farm and after completing the curriculum of the public schools he continued his studies at the Platteville Normal School, at Platteville, Wisconsin. He taught school for three winter terms, working on the farm during the summer seasons. He continued to be identified with the operation of the home farm until 1886, but in the meanwhile he devoted careful attention to reading of law. In the year mentioned he located to Muscoda, Wisconsin, were he was engaged in the real-estate and insurance business until 1889, when he came to Hutchinson county, South Dakota, locating in Menno, where he was employed for the ensuing year as assistant cashier in the Menno State Bank. In March, 1890, he was admitted to the bar and forthwith began the practice of his profession in Menno, where he has since resided, having secured a representative clientele and established a high reputation as an able advocate and safe and conservative counsel. He is a stalwart adherent of the Republican party, and in the fall of 1890 he was elected state's attorney for his county, serving one term, while in 1898 he was again called to office, serving two consecutive terms and making a most excellent record as prosecutor. He is a member of Muscoda Lodge, No. 70, Free and Accepted Masons, at Muscoda, Wisconsin; of Scotland Chapter, No. 31, Royal Arch Masons, at Scotland, South Dakota; and of Menno Camp, No. 3071, Modern Woodmen of America. On the 15th of December, 1886, Mr. DIMOCK was united in marriage to Miss Clara A. STEVENS, of Monfort, Wisconsin, and they became the parents of two children: Murray S., who died at the age of fifteen months; and Lucy N., who remains at the parental home."

"Judge Warren DIMOCK, Menno Resident, Dies. Held Numerous Offices in Hutchinson County Since Coming There in 1889. Menno, Aug. 4. Funeral services were to be held this afternoon for Warren DIMOCK, county Judge of Hutchinson county, who died Saturday morning at his home here. The Masonic lodge was to have charge. The deceased was born near Avoca, Wis., September 14, 1859, and came to Menno in 1889. He was cashier in a bank, then admitted to the bar in 1890 and elected state's attorney of Hutchinson county the same year. He again was elected to that office in 1898 and served two terms. Most of the time since that he has been in public office, mayor seven years, senator four years and county Judge numerous terms. A man of the highest integrity, he was usually elected to office with about the highest vote of any candidate. Menno mourns the death of one of its most esteemed citizens. The vacancy in the office of county Judge will probably have to be filled by an appointment By tne governor."
