He was married to Julia A. Dancy near Mulberry, Crawford county (sic), Kansas, August 10th, 1880. Six children were born to them, three having preceeded (sic) the father to the great beyond. The three remaining children are Mrs. Gertrude Sweet of Hardy, Nebr., Walter S. Dick of Salt Lake City, Utah, and R. Fred Dick, of Concordia, Kansas. He became a member of the Presbyterian church (sic) in England very early in life. He and his wife came to Republic county (sic) in 1883 and he transferred his membership to the United Brethren church (sic) where he remained to the end of his days.
Robert Dick was a hard working man, a faithful husband, a good father known for his good deeds among men. He accompanied the pastor to secure part of the funds to build this church. About four years ago he was stricken with paralysis and since that time has gradually declined to the day of death which occurred about five o'clock p.m. Thursday, May 8th, 1924, at the home of his son-in-law, Harry Sweet 9 miles northwest of Republic.
He leaves to mourn, one brother, two sisters, two sons and one daughter who will miss him sadly, but most of all his faithful wife who has been so attentive during all the days of pain and sorrow will grieve most of all.
His funeral was held at the United Brethren church (sic) in Republic, May 10th, 1924, and his body was laid to rest in the Prairie Rose cemetery (sic) to await the trumpet call. - Republic City News.
