Sycamore True Republican -- February 3, 1934

Funeral services for Mrs. Edith Dennis; mother of Robert G. Dennis of Fair street here, who died late Wednesday afternoon were at 2 o'clock this Friday afternoon conducted from the late home on Sycamore avenue in DeKalb. Rev. John Spencer of the First Methodist church of DeKalb officiated. Interment was in Elmwood cemetery here.
Mrs. Dennis, 82 years of age, was a native of London, England, and was born November 10, 1851, the daughter of Robert and Priscilla Page Chatfield. She came to this country as a young woman and was wed to Gordon Dennis. He preceded her in 1911.
To Mr. and Mrs. Dennis four children were born. They are: Miss Grace C. Dennis of DeKalb, Robert G. of Sycamore, Mrs. Myrtle T. Lundberg of DeKalb and Mrs. Gertrude Groves of Electric Park vicinity. There are eight grandchildren and one great grandchild who remain. Mrs. C. H. Clark, an only sister, of Monrovia, Calif., also survives.
For 30 years the Dennis family lived at Electric Park corners on the Sycamore-DeKalb road. They were residents of DeKalb and Sycamore at intervals for a considerable length of time also. Mrs. Dennis was closely identified with the DeKalb Methodist church.
A large circle of friends and relatives mourn deeply the passing of a kind and loving lady. Paramount in the life of Mrs. Dennis was her devotion to her family and associates.
