General Notes: Husband - Rev. John Miller Dickey, D.D.


For more than fifty years he was a most successful man in doing good. Remarkable for the variety of the work accomplished, for the large, comprehensive, and correct views entertained, and for the independence shown in devising and executing plans of usefulness, the purity and benevolence of his motives and the modesty and sincerity of his manner won for him the confidence of all who labored with him, or who knew him. The scene of Dr. Dickey's labors, and where for the most of his life he retained a home (residing a large part of each year in Philadelphia), was the town of Oxford, in Chester County, Pennsylvania.
