St. Clair County Obits

MRS. LUCY ANN (BEAVERS) DIXON

The above named lady was born near Fredonia, KY, May 13 (s/b 23) 1837, and died at the home of her son, John Dixon, near Appleton City, Nov. 6, 1906.

When about 18 years of age the deceased was married to Alfred Dixon and together they came to St. Clair County, MO in 1867 and have since resided here. Mrs. Dixon was converted to christianity in 1858 and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church and remained a faithful member of that body until her death.

Eleven children were born to her, nine of whom, with her husband survive her. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. P. E. Pierce at the home of her son from Rev. 7:12 -- "What are These Which Arrayed in White Robes and Whence Came They?"

A large concourse of friends followed the remains of this excellent woman to her last resting place in the Appleton City Cemetery.



Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Beavers of Terry were in Osceola last Thursday on the way home from Appleton township where they had been to attend the funeral of Mr. Beaver's sister, Mrs. Alfred Dixon, who died Tuesday evening previous from the effects of paralysis with which she had been afflicted for about two years. Mrs. Dixon was sixty years of age.
