The Cairo Messenger, Friday, March 28, 1911
In Memory of Mr. B. W. Dixon
We, the Brothers and Sisters of the Loyal Methodist Church, are bowed in deep 
sorrow and grief over the death of one of our most esteemed and loved members, 
Bro. B. W. Dixon, whose death occurred March 19th, at his residence four miles 
west of Whigham.

Bro. Dixon was for a number of years a faithful member of the Congregational 
Methodist Church, and on account of trouble that arose in the said 
Congregational Church that failed to be amicably adjusted, he and a few other 
members came out of said church and organized what is known as the Loyal 
Methodist Church; and although he has been afflicted some time and under 
treatment of a doctor, he has, notwithstanding his afflictions, proved himself 
to be a good and faithful member.  He was deacon of the church at the time of 
his death.  He was a faithful officer and never flinched from duty.

While we regret very much to give him up, we sincerely believe that our loss is 
his eternal gain, and while we know it is impossible for him to return to us, 
we can, by the help and grace of our dear Lord, go to him where friends and 
loved ones never part, and we pray that the Great Healer of all troubles will 
lovingly bind up the sorrowing and bleeding hearts of his loved ones and 
friends, and fit and prepare each one to meet him in the Glory World, is the 
prayer and desire of the undersigned members of the Loyal Methodist Church.  
Also that this tribute to our dear brother and friend, be published in the 
Cairo Messenger, and a copy be sent to his wife and daughter, and also entered 
upon the minutes of the Church.

T. J. Brunson, J. C. White, I. A. Hudson and I. T. Taylor
