   ANDREW J. DICKEY, a native of Ohio, was born in 1826, and is a son of Wilson
S. and Elizabeth (Riley) Dickey, who settled in Greene County in 1852, and where
his father died seven years later. His mother yet lives in the "Buckeye State,"
and she is a daughter of Nancy Riley, who was a long resident of this county,
but who moved back to Ohio in 1880, where she died a few weeks later at the
advanced age of one hundred and two years. Andrew J. Dickey began working at
blacksmithing and engineering when twenty years old, but for the past thirty-one
years he has resided three miles east of Scotland, where he is operating one of
the successful flouring mills of the county. He secured only an ordinary
schooling in youth, but by self-study has become one of the well-posted men of
Taylor Township. He was married in 1850 to Miss Margaret J. Logan, by whom he is
the father of two children—Elza R. and Lillie J. He married his second and
present wife, Miss Louisa Crush, in 1864, and eight children have crowned their
union, only the following named yet living: Francis A., Cynthia E., John H.,
Ida, Clara E., Samuel T. and Emma M.
