Obituary of DICKSON, WILLIAM SLOAN  1910 Oconee County, SC
Tugaloo Tribune, December 10, 1910
    Sloan Dickson, who had been sick for a few weeks, died at his home about 
one mile from here Saturday night.  Mr. Dickson was 76 years of age and was one 
of Oconee oldest settlers, having lived here since the Civil War.  He was a 
Mason, and was buried by them in the West End cemetery Sunday afternoon at 3 
o'clock.  A number of Masons from Seneca, Newry and other towns were here to 
help in the burial ceremony.  He is survived by four sons and one 
daughter---Wade Dickson, Paul Dickson, Earl Dickson, John Dickson and Mrs. D. 
P. Butler.  H. S. Harkey, his son-in-law, and R. E. Harkey, his grandson, were 
here from Atlanta.  Mr. Dickson was a consistent member of the Christain Church 
and was a man of many noble traits of character.  He was a Confederate veteran, 
having served faithfully by the cause of the South throughout the war.  He at 
one time served Oconee as County Commissioner, which office he filled with 
fidelity and ability.  The news of his death will bring deep sorrow to many in 
this county, where he has long been known and loved by a wide circle of 
friends, with whom we join in extending sympathy to the bereaved ones.
