states that David R. Dill was born 14 August 1832 in Rushville, Indiana. At
the age of twenty he married Amanda Gregg, who bore him two children: Mrs.
Laura Ritenour and Mr. Monroe Dill. Seven years later he married Rebecca
Kinton, who bore him seven sons (including one who died in infancy), and five
daughters. According to Mrs. Dill’s obituary (Sterling Kansas Bulletin, 29
