In Memoriam.
Much need not be said of the life and
character Of one who was of gentle,
!, unselfish and sweet spirit. One who
kfven in her last years of feeble health
was always anxious for the comfort
md welfare Of those who were near
nd dear to her. Mild, yet quietly
rong, In the conviction of her duties,
be was charitable and sympathetic
pr all with whom she came into re.
lNtionship in any capacity in all her
Mes Journey.
Mrs. Dixon was Of Quaker ancestry
shd family and her nature and life, like
the peaceful and modest bearing of
this amiable sect whose virtues and
pure lives are the exemplification Of
the golden rule, was a constant bene.
diction in her calm home life Those
who knew her intimately, although so
quiet in her demeanor, will ever be
helped by the kind word from her low
ing heart OF these she had many
friends. especially among the older
3 citizens who knew her in her strength
