Mr. Eugene Dixon, A Prominent Merchant of Ellaville is Dead.

The death at noon on Thursday of Mr. Eugene Dixon, a
prominent merchant and citizen of Ellaville, was quite a
shock to his relatives and friends.  Mr. Dixon had been ill
with pneumonia for several days and while his condition was
serious it was not believed to have been critical.  Mr.
Dixon was 47 years of age, a man of most excellent character
and high social and business standing.  He was brother of
Mr. Olin Dixon of Americus, while his wife who with three
children survives him, is a daughter of Mr. Henry S. Davis,
of this city.  Mr. Dixon was a man of sterling worth and
integrity and his death will be generally deplored.-
Americus Times-Recorder (Note:  Eugene B. Dixon was the son
of Pleasant Freeman Dixon & Mary George Askew.  He married
Lillie Davis 1-30-1884, both are buried in the Ellaville
Cemetery).
