Article from Gospel Advocate by B F Hart.
"Sarah E. Dixon, wife of Brother W. H. Dixon, was born April 22, 1850. She obeyed the gospel in the month of September, 1864. Sister Dixon was a daughter of Richmond Campbell. She was married to Brother Dixon Nov. 9, 1865. She died Oct. 10, 1895. Sixter Dixon was afflicted twenty-two years. She endured her afflictions with a great deal of patience. Eternity alone can tell the good accomplished by Brother Dixon during these years of affliction of his companion. If it was not for going out of my way I would love to speak of some of that work here. But what I want to say, and say with emphasis, is that Sister Dixon deserves credit for part of that work. It is not the women that make the most noise that do the most good. During all these years of suffering Sister Dixon never complained of Brother Dixon going from home to preach the gospel, but frequently encouraged him to go when she was very ill. But her work is finished, and she has gone to her reward. May God comfort the husband and children. And may her boy obey the gospel, that he, too, may have a hope of meeting his dear mother in heaven. B. F. Hart., Petersburg, Tenn. - Gospel Advocate, December 26, 1895, page 825."
