Mary Little Dickinson Deere was the wife of Charles Deere, and daughter-in-law of John Deere, who founded the company that bears his name. She was born August 9, 1841, in Newburyport, Vermont to Gideon Dickinson and Judith Atkinson Dickinson. (Note: her obituary in the New York Times states that she was born in Boston.)
Mary and Charles were married on September 16, 1862.
Besides being a devoted mother to her two daughters, Anna and Katherine, Mary was extremely active in community affairs. She was descended from Colonel Moses Little, who commanded a regiment at Bunker Hill during the American Revolutionary war and was a friend of George Washington. Her ancestor led her to organize the Moline Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR). She was a state regent of the organization and also served as vice president general for the national DAR. The Chapter was later re-named to honor her as the Mary Little Deere Chapter.
Mary was instrumental in the building of a monument on Campbell's Island, near Moline in the Mississippi River, and in the preservation of Fort Massac in southern Illinois. She was also a member of the Society of Colonial Dames, and a supporter of Moline's First Congregational Church, and the city's parks and playgrounds.
Mary Little Dickinson Deere died in New York City on April 28, 1913.
