Note: OBITUARY
Mrs. John Dixon Dead.
The news of the death of Mrs. John Dixon in the hospital at St. Louis Monday morning was quite a shock to the relatives and many friends of the county. Mrs. Dixon was taken to St. Louis one week ago when the second operation was performed for a tumor in the stomach, and while she seemed to stand it well and was getting along nicely, death came to her Monday morning. The remains were brought up on the evening train and taken to the home west of town until Wednesday morning when the funeral services were held in the Methodist church, interment following in the City Cemetery. Rev. R. E. McQuie for many years her pastor conducting the services, assisted by Rev. Alex G. Carter of Montgomery City. Helen Clark Dixon was born in Montgomery County, January 26th, 1845; died September 25th, 1911; aged 66 years and eight months. October 10th 1865, she was married to John J. Dixon. To this union two children, Mrs. Annie Mitchell of Mexico and Ausbin, of this place, were born. In November 1870, Mrs. Dixon united with the Liberty Baptist church, where she held her membership for over 25 years. Recently she and Mr. Dixon transferred to Montgomery, being a nearer church. Mrs. Dixon was of a family of eleven children, and now only one remains, Mrs Lina Davault of Bayard, Neb. A very large crowd attended the funeral attesting the esteem and love held for Mrs. Dixon by our people. Truly a saintly mother in Israel has gone, leaving behind her many traits of character worthy of emulation. Peace to her ashes and may blessings come down upon Mr. Dixon, Anna and Ausbin in their bereavement.
