Notes: George Pascal Dillon


According to the WPA cemetery list for Crook Cemetery, there is an O. P. Dillon buried there with dates of 1844 - 1915. In my personal survey of Crook Cemetery I didn't come across this name. A check of my Dillon records indicated that George Pascal Dillon had these dates of birth and death. Since WPA records are notorius for errors in the recording of names (such as reading a G as an O) and since George's father William J. Dillon is buried in Crook Cemetery I believe that George was originally buried in Crook Cemetery. For whatever reason, when George's wife died 35 years later, she was buried in Ridgelawn Memorial Park and at that time the children must have had George moved to Ridgelawn to be next to his wife.
