Allen Dixon Sr. – Friday, 21 September 1917

Death of Allen Dixon, SR. On last Monday evening at 4:15 o’clock, Mr. Allen Dixon,
Sr., who lived at 
what is known as the Dixon settlement, near Surrency, died after an illness of about
ten days, at his 
home. Mr. Dixon was one of the pioneer citizens of this section of the state and was
held in the highest 
esteem. At the time of his death he was 80 years of age.

He was a gallant confederate soldier, having received a wound in his right arm,
which practically 
destroyed the use of this arm. He was a member of the Methodist Church and also the
Holmesville 
Lodge of the Masons. A man of high ideas and splendid character he always held the
confidence and 
esteem of his fellow man.

In his home life he was a devoted and affectionate father and husband. He was
preceded to his grave 
about ten years ago by his wife, who was a Miss Courtney Moody, before her
marriage.

The funeral was conducted by Rev. JA Blanton and the interment took place at the
George Moody 
Cemetery in the presence of a large number of relatives and acquaintances from all
sections of the 
county.
