Arizona Republican-April 6, 1901
MRS. DIXON
April 6, 1901

Mrs. Dixon, of Omaha died yesterday morning in the 
passenger depot of the S.F.P and P. railroad in this 
city having arrived here a short time before on the 
train from the north.  Her last hours were particularly 
sad for the reason that though her daughter resides 
here she was not apprised of her mother's coming and 
the latter had passed death's portals before her 
identity was known.

Mrs. Dixon was in a very feeble condition when she boarded 
the train at Ash Fork and grew constantly worse till the 
end.  When she reached the depot here she was unconscious 
and the trainmen put her in the waiting room and summoned 
Officer Dowell who in turn called Dr. Hughes.  By the 
time the physician arrived she was beyond reviving.  
Those attending her opened her purse and found a note 
saying that if anything happened to her during the 
journey to notify Mrs. M.W. Fields, a daughter in 
Phoenix.  Mrs. Fields was notified at once and she 
gave directions to have her mother removed to
the hospital but before she could reach her and before 
her instructions could be carried out she had expired.

Mrs. Fields says that her mother has been afflicted 
with cancer of the stomach for years and has recently 
been very ill.  She knew that her mother had planned 
to come here and only a few days ago sent her money 
for the journey but she left Omaha before her letter 
arrived and in fact without apprising the daughter of 
the time of her departure.

The remains were taken to the undertaking parlors of Mohn 
and Easterling, where the funeral will be held on Monday 
afternoon at 3 o'clock.
