Almira Hatch birth record
This record is copied from a different record. The child is not named, but we know it is Almira. The mother's name is also wrong, as it should be Almira Brooks, and it says her mother was of Vermont.

Notes - Occupation on marriage index card entry indicates he was a druggist at time of marriage.
Dillon had beautiful penmanship as a young man. He wrote in his diary when 12 “At the head of the class again”
Dillon was involved with the Teachout Realty and Investment Co. before his retirement, and was part owner of the Walker and Hatch Lumber and Manufacturing Co. He had a cherry secretary and large dresser made as well as an oak roll-top desk. He and Almyra lived in Stockton CA for a while with Herbert and Juanita, and returned to Cleveland because Almyra was “homesick” for the rest of her family.
Excerpted from Evelyn Mason Shaw’s reunion intro:
The Hatch name, along with Robinson (the other side of Charlote Hatch Shaw’s family) is well-known in Grand Isle and South Hero, Vermont. The Hatch house is still standing, and Hatches are easy to locate in the cemeteries -- there is even a Hatch Hill and Robinson’s Point.

An important and promising industry is the WALKER & HATCH Lumber and Manufacturing Company, manufacturers of solid and veneered hard wood work, doors, sash, blinds, stair builders' supplies, and all kinds of house finish. The business was started in 1874 by David WALKER and D. F. HATCH. C. E. MACOMBER was admitted to an interest in the concern in 1882, and the firm name of WALKER, HATCH & Co. adopted. The present stock company was chartered on the 12th of August, 1885, with a capital stock of $50,000. The officers are D. F. HATCH, president; David WALKER, vice-president; Gilbert HARRIS, treasurer; C. E. MACOMBER, secretary, and F. B. HOWE, clerk. At the time of the incorporation of this company they purchased the stock and interest of the Burlington Spoke Company and the Winooski Lumber Company. They make something of a speciality of the Stevens sliding blind, which is one of the best inside blinds manufactured. The buildings, situated on a five-acre plot on Winooski River, consist of a mill about 200 x 50 feet and three stories high, adjoining a saw-mill, boiler and shaving rooms, offices and sheds, and twelve large kilns for the drying of lumber, heated and arranged by the most approved methods.

According to handwritten will, which was done in Seattle Washington, land was purchased there. Couldn’t find any entries for Dillon in online digital collection of indexes from this county:
Washington, King County, deeds and mortgages, 1852-1924 indexes for Hatch don’t actually go to 1924 only 1922.
