The body was brought to the home of his son, ROGER DICKINSON, three miles west of Davis and the funeral was held at 5 p.m. Monday at Green Hill cemetery, REV. JESSE COOK of the Nazarene Church of Sulphur conducting the service. G. P. DICKINSON was born in Arkansas Nov. 3, 1850, lived in Texas many years, then moved to this section more than 30 years ago. While in Texas he married MISS DELLA BROWN and of this union, four children survive, ROGER DICKINSON of Davis, OBE DICKINSON of Wenatchee, Washington, MRS. ANNIE WINN DICKINSON of San Angelo, Texas, and MRS. MAY BOYTE of Oklahoma City. His second marriage was to MRS. MARY SHANNON STEPHENS who died May 28, 1917.

All his children were present at the funeral except Obe. His stepdaughter, MRS. SANFORD FERGUSON, was also present. Judge Dickinson was an upright man and a good citizen. He was a true Christian character and lived a life of which he was never ashamed. For many years he was a Methodist and several years ago, joined the Nazarene Church. Until a few years ago, he was prominent in Masonic circles. The deceased got the title of judge while serving as justice of the peace here for several years. He also served as mayor, alderman, court clerk, and various other positions. Judge Dickinson was a man with a big heart that beat in sympathy with humanity. The golden rule was his guide in life and he had a large circle of friends and acquaintances. It was a large crowd that gathered at the cemetery Monday and paid tribute to his memory. P. J. CONNER Loses Home by Fire Davis friends will be sorry to learn of the fire loss of P. J. CONNER, former Davis citizen, as shown by the following article clipped from the Rosalia Citizen-Journal in Washington: The farm home of C. A. SPURGEON of the AKERS Hardware Co. was burned last Friday morning. P. J. CONNER, who was living there at the time, came near losing his life and his family was thrown out with only their night clothing on. The house caught about 4:00. The family was awakened by the smell of smoke and when Mr. Conner opened the bedroom door, the flames rushed into his face with such heat, he barely had strength to make his escape from the house. The mother and daughter rushed from the burning building and were soon at the home of a neighbor. .. Mr. Conner carried no insurance and Mr. Spurgeon had only a few dollars insurance on the building. Death of W. W. STUTTS W. W. STUTTS, aged 46 years, died at Pauls Valley last Friday at a sanitarium where he had been taken a few days previous for an operation. He had been in ill health for some time. The funeral was held at the grave in Green Hill cemetery Saturday afternoon, REV. J. J. FRANKLIN conducting the service.
