Gainesboro Sentinel,  Thur, June 16, 1904
Dixon, John H. was born in North Carolina  on December 13, 1816. At the
age of nine he came to Tennessee with his father and mother and settled
on the borders of the Cumberland River in Jackson County. At the age of
twenty one he was happily married to Miss. Eliza Rauley who left him fot
the spirit world about ten years ago. Eight children, 6 sons and 2
daughters, survive. After an eventful journey of 88 years of sunshine
and shadow the old pilgrim pillowed his head quietly upon his burdens
May 2, 1904 and went to sleep from which none ever wake to weep.
