Her name is spelled Deidama on Vermont Vital Records
Diadama also used a nickname of Diana
A lot of the information obtained was from the book called "Genealogy of the Dodge Family of Essex County, Mass. 1629-1894" By Joseph Thompson Dodge
The book does not list Lewis Sturges as one of the children so one must assume that he passed away prior to the publishing. The information for the book was partly provided by Henry Sturges. Also a Child named Edwin aged 2 months was found on the 1850 census but not on the subsequent ones, so have to assume he died.

Died In Peace
Blowers -- At the home of her eldest son, W. H. Sturges, in this city, July 22nd, 1887, Mrs. Diadama Blowers in the seventy-fifth year of ehr age. Diadam Dodge was born October 14, 1811, and in January 22, 1832, she was united in marriage to Hiram Sturges, by whom she was blessed wsith ten children, our townsman, W.H. Sturges being the eldest. Only four of her children survive. Hiram Sturges died in Rochester, N.Y. in May 1850. In 1856, she with her family removed to Crown Point, Indiana, where she three years later, united her fortunes with William Blowers, a prosperous and well-tp-do farmer, who proved a good husband remaining her constant companion until his death, which occurred in December 1884. She has paid her son and our town three visits. Being endowed with an energetic spirit, she was not content to remain in idleness. Having a warm affection for her children perforce she must visit them often but the thought of being a burden prayed upon her, and she could not be content until in April last, when she consented to the oft-repated solicitations of her son, to make her home with him, where she remained up to the time of her death, which occurred yesterday at three o'clock. pm.. Many years ago she acknowledged the saving power of Him who doeth all things well, and became a member of the Presbyterian Church. How blessed is the sleep in Jesus, such as hers must be, for when her son was holding her up to a sitting posture, with friends gathered around, she then asked for someone to sing an old familiar hymn, which request was complied with, she asked to be laid in such a position that she might die. From that time until many hours thereafter, when the winged spirit took its flight, she never uttered a sound or sign of complaint. Her sleep will be be the sleep of the just, after a long life well spent. The funeral takes place from the residence this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. H.H. Cooper, officiating.
On Oct. 23 that year Mrs. Diana Sturgis* and Wm. Glowers were married, and on Oct. 30, Johnson wheeler was wedded to Miss Mary Pinney, of Townsend, Ohio.
The 1860 census shows her living with William Blowers and her daughter Nancy Sturges age 12 and a child by the name of James W. Freed age 2.
