Obituary: The Late Mrs. Henry Dickson
"Died--At her home in Kenton, on Tuesday, August 14, Rachel Dickson, aged fifty years. Mrs. Dickson was born in Pleasant Twp., four miles east of Kenton, January 19th, 1838, and was married to Mr. Henry Dickson, March 26, 1857, at the home of her parents. She was the daughter of John and Edith Looker, who were natives of Rockingham County, Va. They came to Hardin County in the early pioneer days, remaining here the balance of their lives. Deceassed leaves a number of sisters and brothers: Mrs. William Spitzer and Mrs. J. N. Carothers and a brother Frank, residing in this county; Mrs. H. Clayton and Mrs. H. Roush, living in Iowa; Mrs. E. Dicus, residing in Illinois; James residing in Clermont County, this State, Abe and Luke, living in Michigan, and John, residing in Logan County, this State. She was the mother of three children, two sons and a daughter, all of whom are living. The children are all married, the daughter being the wife of Mr. John Pfeiffer, one of our most prominent merchants. The sons are associated with their father in business. Mrs. Rachel Dickson was a member of the Presbyterian Church and was a strict observer of all its requirements. She was in fact a practical Christian, ever ready to minister to the wants of the sick and afflicted. By her death, the church has lost a faithful consistent member, the community a pleasant, good neighbor, and her family a devoted wife and mother. She was a woman possessed of noble qualities of heart and mind, and was ever the friend of those in need. Her many acts of charity were done without show and were prompted by Christian love and not for display. Whoever knew her was proud of her friendship. Her friends kindly remembered her by sending choice flowers to her funeral, and among the many were several handsome pieces of appropriate and beautiful design...The remains were buried in Grove Cemetery, and her funeral cortege was one of the largest ever seen in Kenton. May her many noble qualities serve as examples for others to follow, and may the eternal sleep that now holds her in its long embrace end by awakening on the bright shores of the blessed."
