General Notes: Husband - William F. Dickson


He grew to manhood in Hayfield Township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, attending the old log schoolhouse, and working in his father's mill from the time he was big enough to be of any use, but he was so attentive to his schooling that, in 1837, he commenced to teach school, and continued to do so for thirteen winters.
In 1862 he enlisted in Company H, One Hundred and Fiftieth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, serving till the close of the war. In 1872 he was elected Register and Recorder of Crawford County, and again in 1875, serving as a county officer for twelve years. He was Secretary of the I. O. O. F. Lodge for thirty-five years. In 1879 he purchased a foundry, which was carried on under the firm name of Curry & Co. In politics he was a Republican.
