CHARLES
C. DIMICK, proprietor of one of the oldest mercantile
establishments in the town of Rosiclare, Ill,, was born a mile and a half
north of that town. Sept 1, 1862, his parents being Franklin and Amanda J.
(Chancy) Dimick. (See sketch of George F. Dimick for family genealogy.)
Charles C. Dimick was educated in the common schools and lived with his
parents until Nov. 10, 1880, when he married Kittie Wood, daughter of Alfred
and Sarah (Madden) Wood, old residents of Hardin county. After his marriage
he lived a year on a farm near his father, then a year on Dr. White's farm,
near Elizabethtown, when he settled on a farm given him by his father near
the old home place, and lived there for seven or eight years. He then came
to Rosiclare, where he was connected with the mines for about two years, at
the end of which time he engaged in mercantile pursuits in connection with
his brother, George F., under the firm name of C. Dimick & Bro. In 1902 the
partnership was dissolved and he succeeded to the business, which he still
conducts. By his conservative and safe business methods he has acquired
considerable wealth and owns some of the best property in the town where he
lives. Mr. Dimick is a Republican and takes some interest in political
affairs. He was appointed postmaster under President McKinley's first
administration, having been assistant for two years, and still holds that
position. He is also freight agent for the Evansville & Paducah Packet
company, and has held some of the minor offices of the town. In church
matters he has accepted the faith of his father and is a deacon in the
Christian church. He belongs to Lodge No. 54, Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, and is always a willing helper in the benevolent work of the order.
Mr. and Mrs. Dimick have two daughters, Ethel V. and H. Audrey. Ethel V. was
born Dec. 5, 1883, and H. Audrey Feb. 25, 1894. On Dec. 11, 1904, Ethel was
married to Austin D. Knight.
