Submitted by Olive Hoffman OBRoots@aol.com HOLCOMBE Nearly a Century Old We noticed briefly last week the death of Mrs. Salina Holcombe Dibble, which occurred at Franklindale, on Sunday evening, March 13, 1892. The life of this remarkable aged woman covered nearly a century of faithful service and is deemed worthy of a more extended biographical notice. She was a good woman in all respects. She sprang from a race of remarkable longevity. She was born at North Granby, Connecticut, October 6, 1795, and was a daughter of Adonijah Holcombe and Charity Gillett Holcombe. Her grandfather was Nathaniel Holcombe 4th and her grandmother Margaret Cossitt. She was married November 26, 1818, by Rev. Isaac Porter to Selah Dibble of North Granby. The young couple soon went as pioneers to Colesville, Broome County, NY by wagon on which was packed their household goods, crossing the Hudson River by wire ferry at Hudson, NY. At Hudson they soon entered the wilds of New York and went on roads only marked by blazed trees and from thence were nearly two weeks in getting to their new home and there for many years lived in a log house while her husband cleared the land on which to farm. She came with her husband to Bradford County in 1849 and resided in Smithfield until the death of her husband in 1876. Since which time she resided with her daughter now Mrs. Harvey Holcombe, until her death. In a grand degree she was a woman of superior mind and body; was about 5 feet 8 inches tall, had dark complexion and hazel eyes and a most dignified bearing. She had the power to express her opinions which were well formed and respected. Her affections and likes and dislikes were equally warm. She meddled with no one's business and allowed no one to interfere with hers. She was never idle if able to move about and during the past few years made many elegant pieces of patchwork of silk and cotton and presented them to loved friends and aided in the work of the house up to quite recently. In mind and body she was the best preserved woman we ever had the privilege to know. In her religious connection she was, we think, a Baptist and her remains rest in the old cemetery in Smithfield near those of her late husband. Judah Holcombe Esq., North Granby, a near relative of hers died at 98 years of age in 1802. Her Uncle Othniel Gillett, died at 96 and both her parents lived to a ripe old age and in the nearly 100 years of her life she has maintained the reputation of her family connextions for remarkable longevity.
