Tribute to Dawson Billiter.
Arthur Swain of Rock writes the Free Press about Dawson Billiter as follows:
"Dawson Billiter, son of J.D. Billiter, of Richland township, who was killed in your town last week, was twenty-three years old and was held in very high esteem by the whole community, being a young man of excellent habits. His father moved here five years ago from Milan, Sumner county. Dawson had just opened up a barber shop with Claude Waggoner on East 9th, where he was building up a good trade. His remains were taken to Milan last Friday and on Saturday were buried beside his mother, who died four years ago. They were accompanied by his father, sister and a few of his most intimate friends, Elenora and Felix Sloan, Jackson Welfelt and Robert Swain. His father and sister have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement.
