"The funeral of Dr. J.D. Dickinson,of Maquon, was held ar that place on Friday morning. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Bell, who preached an interesting an pathetic sermon refering in glowing terms to the past life and character of the deceased. The funeral which was the largest ever held in Maquon, was under the charge of the Masonic kFraternity, there being about fifty of the brothers in the line of march, preceeded by the Maquon band. The past life of Dr. Dickinson has been full up ups and downs. He was born in Meggs county, Ohio, in the year 1851, his parents being farmers. As remained at home an worked on the farm until the spring of 1878, when he came to this country and settle near Gilson, where he worked at the carpenter trade and taught school all the time keeping up his study of medicine. In 1882 he graduated in his chosen profession at the Keokuk Medical school when he returned and began practice in Maquon in 1883. There survive hima !
a mother and one brother, who reside at Moberry, Neb. By his death Maquon has lost one of its best citizens."
