DIAL, HENRY C. - Tribute of Dr. H. C. Dial - Dr. Henry C. Dial, whose death
occurred Feb. 19, 1924, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. M. L. Richards, 417
South Winneka Street, Dallas, was born in the State of Mississippi, Aug. 29,
1855. At an early age his father removed to Texas where he spent the remainder
of his life. He was married in 187 (?) to Miss Martha Brown of Upshur County
and to this union eight children were born, six of whom Mrs .Howard D.
Campbell of Clearwater, Fla.; Raymond Dial of Gilmer, Mrs. M. L Richards, H.
Dial and Drs. J. D. and R. G. Dial, all of Dallas, together with the widow,
survive to mourn his death. Dr. Dial is also survived by two sisters, Mrs.
Kate White? of Big Sandy and Mrs. Billie Dixon of Cumby, and by a brother, J.
J. Dial of Sulphur Springs. Dr. H. C. Dial was a graduate of medicine from the
Louisville Medical College and since his graduation, at intervals has had
several post-graduate courses from the leading medical institutions of the
United States. He practiced his profession in Hubbard, Big Sandy, Gilmer,
Sulphur Springs and for about eight months in Dallas. Dr. Dial was a friend of
education and was able to educate his children and to give them, as he
expressed it, something that no man could take from them. Dr. Dial was a
member of the Baptist church and an honored member of the Masonic fraternity.
The writer was a frequent visitor in his home while he lived in Sulphur
Springs, and it was here that he learned to know and appreciate him most. If I
were called upon to draft the resolution on the death of Dr. H. C. Dial I
would say that the medical profession has lost a valuable member, that the
Baptist Church was not so strong as when he lived, that the fraternal ties
that bind us together as Masons is made weaker by his death, that the State
has lost a good citizen, one that ever stood for the best there is in
government, that the wife has lost a devoted husband and the six surviving
children have suffered an irreparable loss in the death of their father. J. L.
