Andrew Dillman, deceased, was one of the prominent agriculturalists of Jackson
Township, as well as a much respected citizen. He was a Kentuckian by birth,
born in Bracken County, February 12, 1811. His parents, John and Lydia (Roer)
Dillman, settled in Ohio when he was a child, and in that State he grew to
manhood, being reared to the avocation of a farmer, which he made his life
work. He was united in marriage in Brown County, Kentucky, November 19, 1835,
to Sarah Kilander, a native of Kentucky, born January 15, 1819, a daughter of
Jacob and Mary (Dillman) Kilander, natives of the State of Virginia. Her
parents subsequently removed to Ohio, where they lived until 1854. In that
year they came to Wells County, and made their home in Jackson township until
their death. They were members of the Disciple church. They left at their
death a family of five children, three sons and two daughters, all of whom are
yet living except one. Thirteen children were born to Mr. and Mrs Dillman, ten
still living - Mary, Susan, Lydia, Levi, Jacob, John, Sidney, Alice, William,
and Minnie. Mr. Dillman followed farming in Ohio until April, 1854, when he
came with his family to Wells County, Indiana, and settled on section 19,
Jackson Township, where he lived until his death, which occurred February 2,
1886. His widow still resides on the old homestead. She is a member of the
Christian church. Mr. Dillman was also a worthy member of the same church
until his death. In politics he affiliated with the Democratic party. He was
an enterprising and public-spirited man, taking an active interest in the
affairs of his township. The postoffice at Dillman was named in honor of him.
