WALTER DICKSON was the son of WALTER and ANNA (TUFTS) DICKSON, and was born
March 15, 1799, at Groton. His father removed to this town from Menotomy,
since West Cambridge, and now Arlington. WALTER, the son, was a farmer unti
October 1853, when he left Groton, to work as an independent missionary in
Palestine. In January 1858, MR. DICKSON's house in Jaffa was attacked by Arabs, and
he himself severly wounded; his son-in-law, STEINBECK, was killed at the same
time. He came back to this country in the following September.
