---Rev. J. A. Dickson, aged 75 years, formerly pastor of the Presbyterian church at Millersburg, but recently of Arkansas, died at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Lexington, Sunday night. Mr. Dickson had been an invalid for a number of years, but had been confined to his bed only a few weeks. He is well known throughout the State and the South where he has been in active work in the Presbyterian church for 52 years. Outside of his pastorate of twelve years at Millersburg, almost his entire life has been spent in Arkansas and at his death he was probably the oldest member of the Arkansas Synod. Being a pioneer in church work, in that State, many of the now prosperous and influential churches are the fruits of is ministry. He received into one church alone over six hundred members. He is survived by one daughter Mrs. Wilbur Garvin, of Tennessee, and two sons, Hon, Emmett M. Dickson, of this city and Dr. Chas. B. Dickson, of Ashland, Ky. The funeral services took place Monday afternoon at the Presbyterian church in Millersburg, conducted by Rev. H. M. Scudder, of Carlisle, assisted by Dr. S. H. Blanton, of Danville. Interment in the family lot in Millersburg cemetery.
