Can you tell me his wife's, Amelia, maiden name? I lost an Amelia Dietrich in Hamilton and the ages are about correct. Never have been able to find who she married!

Thanks,

Laura Mayo-Pierce

Hi Laura!

Amelia's maiden name was TAPPAN. She then married a DAVIS prior to marrying Jesse FINSLEY.

Sorry I couldn't help with your DIETRICH puzzle!
