Carnesville Herald - Feb. 9, 1933
Last Saturday morning, January 28th, Mrs. Frances Jane Crump passed away at 
the home of Mrs. Claud Hill at Crump's Mill, after an extended illness.
Mrs. Crump was born near Walhalla, (Oconee County), SC on November 28, 1845.  
In early girlhood she united with the Baptist church and later with the 
Methodist church and was a most devout Christian.  She was a devoted mother.   
As well as mothering her own, she was mother to the children of her late 
husband, J. W. Crump.
Mrs. Crump was a splendid woman possessed of great strength of character.  She 
ministered to the sick, waiting for no invitation--it was always in her heart 
to serve wherever she was needed.  
She is survived by a daughter, Mrs. J. O. Wilhite of Toccoa and eight step 
children.
Records show that Mrs. Crump came from a long line of ancestors.  There is a 
well authenticated family tradition that this family was related by blood to 
the Scottish House of Staurts.  Mrs. Crump was the daughter of William Bratton 
Dickson and Hepzie McGee Dickson.  Her great grandfather, Matthew Dickson, was 
the first Dickson in America, emigrating from Ireland and landing at 
Philadelphia in the year 1762.  He was born in County Tyrone, Scotch-Ireland 
in 1731, later moving to York, PA, then to York, SC.  Mrs. Wilhite has his 
church letter written in the quaint Scotch style, granted him from his Scotch 
Presbyterian church when he sailed for North America, dated "Ye 2nd Day of 
May, 1762".  He served in the Revolutionary War as a cavalryman.  There was a 
direct descendant of the Dickson family in nearly every war.
Funeral services, conducted by Rev. J. P. Erwin, pastor of the Methodist 
Church in Toccoa, were held at Allens Church Sunday afternoon. Beautiful music 
was rendered by Miss Nina Harper, Miss Ruth Barron and Mrs. L. O. Lipscomb.
Pallbearers were Messrs. C. J. Miller, George Fredericks, George Smith, Roy 
Collins, Ed Vandiver and Luther Sosby.
Interment followed in the church yard, the new made grave being covered in 
beautiful, fragrant flowers, tributes from loving and sumpathetic friends.
