The Winona CLIPPER, Winona, Logan County, Kansas; July 26, 1888
 
[from the "County Correspondence" column, McAllaster correspondent]
 
It becomes our painful duty this week to chronicle the death of R. M. DICKINSON 
which occurred on last Friday evening at his late home 6 miles south east of 
McAllaster.  His death was sudden and unexpected and was a severe shock to his 
family and friends.  He had been complaining for several years of injuries in 
the chest occasioned by an accident which occurred many years ago.  On the day 
of his death he got up and went out in the yard, returning in a few moments he 
complained of severe pains in the breast.  He sank on a sofa and although 
stimulants were administered he expired almost instantly.  Mr. D. formerly came 
from Vermont to central Iowa where he resided for 20 odd years.  He removed to 
his late home one year ago this last spring.  He was a good citizen and an 
industrious and honest man who was respected by his neighbors and loved by his 
family.  He leaves a widow and two sons and three daughters, all grown who were 
present at his death with the exception of one son who lives in Cherokee 
county, Kas.  The sympathy of this community is extended to the afflicted 
family.
