DEATH OF MRS. SUSAN DICKSON
    On October 19th, last, at 10 o'clock p. m., Mrs. Susan Dickson passed away 
at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Dora Long, of the Chauga section. She had 
been a sufferer from cancer on her face for quite a number of years, although 
at the time of her death was ot thought to be serious.  Mrs. Dickson was 74 
years of age and was a member of the Cross Roads Baptist church, of which she 
united with 47 years ago, and had spent all her life in this section of the 
county.   Her maiden name was Eaton, being a sister of the late Geo. W. Eaton 
who was a citizen of Walhalla for many years.  She was the devoted wife of the 
late Marshall Dickson, who preceded her to the grave some 24 years ago.  This 
union was blessed with twelve children, of which eight are living, and four 
dead.  The living children are Mrs. Docia Boggs, Mrs. Dora Long, Mrs. Lena 
Sullivan, Mrs. Sam Cobb, Mrs. Effie Burton, Mrs. Annie Cox, Mrs. Queen Freeman, 
Mrs. Alice Freeman.  The four deceased children of Mr. and Mrs. Dickson are:  
Alonzo and William Dickson; Mrs. Wm. Head and Miss Carrie Dickson.  Funeral 
services were held Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock by Rev. L. D. Chalmers, who 
gave a very impressive talk in the presence of a large crowd of sorrowing 
friends and relatives.  Her body was buried in the Cross Roads cemetery at 4 
o'clock Thursday afternoon.  The many friends of the bereaved family will join 
with us in extending the most sincere sympathy in this dark hour of sorrow.
