--Through many years of public service in the state of his adoption Edward D Dickinson has come to be known and appreciated as an earnest and resourceful citizen, whose discharge of duties involved by his acceptance of office has been such as to warrant a continuation of the esteem and confidence of his fellow townsmen.
--He was born in North Chemung, Chemung County NY December 29, 1851, a son of Jesse and Belinda (Beckhorn) Dickinson.
--The father was a farmer in New York but in 1866 he brought his family to Michigan, locating on a farm in Lenawee County, where they remained four years. They then removed to Butler Township, Branch county, where the death of the elder Mr Dickinson occured December 2. 1871.
--Of the six children born to his parents Edward D Dickinson is the second in order of birth and the eldest of the four who attained maturity, three of whom are now living.
--He was reared upon his father's farm in NY state until his sixteenth year, when he came with his parents to Michigan.
--His home duties were interspersed with an attendance at the district school in his immediate neighborhood and later he was given the privilege of a course in a select school.
--At the age of nineteen years he became a teacher in the public schools, and occupation which proved profitable and pleasant for many years, teaching in all, forty terms.
--Teaching, however, was not the extent of Mr. Dickinson's efforts, for besides,he acted as traveling collection agent for two years with headquarters in Pittsburg and Philadelphia.
--He then attended Fayette College, in Fulton County, Ohio until compelled to take a much needed rest on account of his health. On returning to Michigan from the Ohio College he became the owner of an eighty-acre farm in Calhoun County, for which his father had bargained shortly before his death, not living, however, to complete the trade, and henceforth combined farming with his pedagogical labors. In 1903 he became a resident of Marshall, now making his home at No 512 East State Street.
--The marriage of Mr Dickinson occurred December 25, 1882, in Farifield Twp Lenawee County, and united him with Miss Lottie Sturtevant, who was born in that township. She was the daughter of J Wesley and Adelaide (Failing) Sturtevant, who were among the early pioneer settlers of Royalton Township, Fulton County, Ohio, After their marriage Mr and Mrs Dickinson both attended Fayette College for one year, her ambition keeping pace with his in the effort to become a helpmeet in the trure sense of the word.
--Their union has been blessed with the birth of four children, of whom Ray , who has received a common school education, was born in Fairfield, Lenawee County, February 24, 1884: Edna was born in Clarndon Twp: Roy , also born in Clarendon Two and died at the age of eight years. Lloyd was born in Clarendon Two Oct 3 1893 and Edward Delyle in Clarendon Twp November 3 1901.
--In his religious affiliations, though reared a Baptist, Mr. Dickinson is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and has been liberal in his support of all church movements, his disinterested efforts serving to enroll his name among those whose hands have upheld the work of reform and progression. Since 1876 he has been active in the Sunday school. serving as superi8ntendent until 1900, a period of faithfulness seldom surpassed.
--In his fraternal relations he is identified with the Masons , being a member of Butler lodge, No 88 F & A M and is also associated with the Maccabees, of Herrickville, Branch Co.
--In the matter of public services Mr Dickinson has always taken an active part, his entire life a characterization of those qualities which inspire the confidence of all with whom he comes in contact.
--In this political convictions he is a birthright Republican, his first presidential vote having been cast for Hayes in 1876, and since then, thought not a politician in the common acceptance of the term, he has still been active in promoting the principles which he endorses.
--While a resident of Clarendon he was elected township superintendent of schools, in which capacity he served acceptably from 1876-1879, his special fitness for educational work again calling him into the service of the community in 1885 as school inspector. This postition was maintained until 1892, when he resigned to accept that of county drain commissioner, to which office he had been elected in the fall fo 1891. That his discharge of duty has bee in entire accordance with the needs and wishes of the people is indicated by the fact that he has since represented his party in this office, giving to his work the thought of a well trained and practical mind, during his long period of service instituting many beneficial improvements and in every instance acting in a manner calculated to advance the interests of the general public. --As an evidence of the esteem in which he is held by the citizens of Calhoun County Mr Dickinson was re elected in October 1903, to his present office for another term of two years.
--That Mr Dickinson has met with success in the various lines which have formed his life work one ha only to acknowledge results, evidences of which abound on every side, for, a man of strong personality and indomitable will, he has made his presence felt in every community which has claimed him for a resident.
As a helpful , earnest and reliable citizen he deserves mention among those who have given material assistance in the up building of this section of the state
