Dickson Rites At Westminster
   Samuel Weston Dickson, 80, well known Oconee county citizen, died suddenly 
at his home in Westminster Wednesday.  Mr. Dickson was apparently in usual 
health until stricken with a heart attack a few minutes before his death.  He 
was a lifelong resident of Oconee county, and a son of the late John Milton and 
Clara Reeder Dickson, pioneer resident of this section of the state.  During 
his active years he was identified with the grocery business in Westminster for 
a long period of time, and also the livestock business here.  Mr. Dickson was a 
member of the Westminster Baptist church which he attended regularly as long as 
health permitted.  He was also a member of the Dr. Strickland Bible Class of 
the church, and a past member of Woodmen of the World.  He is survived by his 
widow, Mrs. Lessie Woolbright Dickson, and they would next December have 
celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary; two sons, S. W. Dickson, Jr., of 
Westminster, and Herman Dickson, also of Westminster; two daughters, Mrs. 
Myrtle Hicks and Miss Irene Dickson, also of Westminster; one brother, Aden 
Dickson, of Greenville, and a sister, Mrs. Sallie Poore, of Belton; also two 
grandchildren, Billy and S. W. Dickson, III.  Funeral services were held from 
Westminster Baptist church Friday. The Rev. Willie S. Cromer, pastor, and the 
Rev M. J. Stansell officiated.  Burial was in Oconee Memorial Park.  
Pallbearers:  Roscoe Wilson, Harold Hull, Marshall Cleveland, Willis Elmer,
