Notes
a. Note:   Copied from an obituary in THE PARIS BEACON newspaper, Paris, Illinois, October 12, 1883:
  "Death of Mrs. Dickenson
  At half past two on the morning of the sixth of September, Mrs. Mary Shelby Dickenson departed this life at her family residence at Sumner, Washington Territory.
  This estimable lady was born in Vermillion county, Indiana in 1833. Her father, Judge Reason Shelby, a man of scholarly attainments, carefully reared his children, and provided for their education. Together with her brothers and sisters, she spent a happy youth. From this home she was united in marriage to Joseph R. Dickenson, of Edgar county, Illinois. Shortly after the birth of her eldest son they came to California. Here she remained for several years, happy in the affection of her husband and loving little ones. Twelve years ago, on account of her ill health, they came to Sumner, W. T. Being pleased with the locality, they decided to remain, and have made it their home from that period. In this beautiful valley, under the shadow of the fir clad hills and within view of the grand mountain, whose ever varying phases were a source of delight to her, she spent the latter portion of her life. She was the mother of eight children, seven of whom survive her. As a woman, she possessed a clear mind, a warm-hearted generosity, and in all respects an honorable character. But the most admirable trait in her character was the tender love for her family and her rare forgetfulness. The affection she lavished upon them is seldom equaled. To them her loss is irreparable. Two weeks before her death she was taken suddenly ill. Everything that loving hands could do to minister to her wants was done; but all of no avail. Nothing could keep the death angel away. In his somber gloom he drew the shadows down till they touched her face and closed her eyes. The loving spirit that animated her, was borne away to a haven of rest from pain and care, a home which we fully believe she only has gone to prepare for those so dear to her. Years may come and go, but the beauty of her daily life, the lessons she so kindly taught, the love which came from her very heart cannot lose their effect. Some day, the parting so bitter will be over - and all will be well. - Weekly Ledger, (New Tacoma, Washington Territory).
  Joseph R. Dickenson, who has met with the sad blow recorded above, was a former resident of this county and the eldest son of Robert N. Dickenson. He was at one time deputy county clerk here. His two brothers, James A. the editor of this paper, and Samuel N. and his sister Mrs. D. S. Curtis are residents of this county."
