An Aged Mother Gone.

Died at the old homestead where she
had lived for fifty years, Mrs. James
Dckey, of Wishaw, at 9.30 o'clock, Oc-
tober End, 1909.
Grandmother Dickey, who was well
known In this section, was one Of the
pioneers Of Winslow township. She
came to this section OF the country with
her parents from Westmoreland coun-
ty at time when the greater part OF
Jefferson county was dense forest.
She was married TO James Dickey
March "a, 1871, her maiden name being
Elizabeth Pifer, member OF an old
and respected family Of our community.
The result Of this union was thirteen
children, consisting Of eight sons and
five daughters, Of whom four sons and
three daughters survive the mother.
The members Of the family are: Mrs.
Irwin Martin, OF Desire, Mrs. Thomas
Brown, OF Panic, w. Z. Dickey, OF
II ,ynoldsville, II. II. Dickey OF Big
Run, and Elizabeth, Alexander and j.
J. Dickey, of Wishaw. There are thir-
ty.nine grand children and eleven great
grand children.
Grandmother Dickey generally en-
joyed good health up to short time
before her death, which occurred as
stated above, being so years and IA days
of age. Her two daughters, Elizabeth
and Mrs. Martin, and son, Alexander,
we're with her as she calmly departed
this life.
The funeral services were held at the
Syphrit church on Sunday morning,
conducted by Rev. j. G. McEntire, OF
Reynoldsville. Intermept at the same
place. The funeral was one OF the
largest witnessed in this section OF the
county for a number OF years, as
Grandmother Dickey had large num-
Der OF friends and acquaintances, being
Of such disposition as would cultivate
friendship, always kind and obliging
and "a good word for everybody. Nat
urally such person would have host
OF friends. Always open and frank In
all her actions and fearless in discoun-
tenancing what was wrong, obliging and
sincere, forgetful of herself for others,
she accomplished life OF usefulness in
helping to build up neighborhood out
| OF a dense forest. We have reason to
venerate such noble traits OF character
as Grandmother Dickey possessed.

for the benefit of the pensioners OF

"Every year almost as soon az the

ing 80 long for their money, when
they need it 10 badlyY" etc, etc.
"These and various other ques.
tions can best be answered by a sim
pie statement of the amount of work
necessary before this fund can be
disbursod.
"The various county pension
boards are supposed to meet on the
third Monday in January Of each
year, to pass on all new applications
and revise the old list Of pensioners

have several meetings before thcy
can get their reports in proper shape
to send in to the Sta'e pension board,
and even, after they are received
hcro, overy mail brings in belntod
applications from the cbairmen re-
questing that they be addod to their
rolls. This is not the fault Of the
boards, but is due to tho fact that the
applicants for pensions often are un-
acquainted with tho time the board
meets, or havo had difficulties in get
ting witnesses, etc.; in many cases
the boards held their reports back
purposoly hoping to get all tho ap
Pllcations in ut once. Tho State

"Tho State pension board when it
meets, has to consider ench now an

and tedious process, and also hear
appeals, oto. 1t is quite likely thoy
will be in session several days this
year as tho number Of new applicu-

is over, tho ponsion clerk then has to
