General Notes: Husband - James Dixon

---

He spent his boyhood days on the family homestead. He attended the little log schoolhouse located in Dixon district, and continued to make his home on the homestead with his parents until he came of age. Then he started to make his own way. He worked on a near-by farm for one year, and in 1844 located on his own place, a tract of 212 acres, where he made his home for the next sixty-eight years. During the greater part of that period he gave most of his time to agricultural pursuits, cultivating and improving his homestead, to which he added other land. For some twenty years he lived retired from active labor, tenderly cared for by his daughters. Even when past four-score and ten years he was still active in mind and body, retaining all his faculties except his hearing, and takes a deep interest in all the doings of the day as well as his own business affairs. He was a man of strong convictions, and possessed an indomitable will, and when he considered himself in the right would fight to the end against any obstacles. In politics he was originally a Democrat, casting his first Presidential vote for James K. Polk, and he never missed a Presidential election thereafter. From the days of Lincoln he supported the Republican candidates down to and including William H. Taft. The only public office he ever held was that of township assessor. Mr. Dixon was a lifelong member of Blacklick M. E. Church, and was one of the organizers of the first church of that denomination, in the town of Blacklick. He served the church as member of the building committee, Sunday school teacher, and later superintendent of the Sunday school.
