[p. 1010] an able member of the Lawrence County bar and a somewhat active citizen in county politics, was born November 6, 1877, at New Castle, Pa., and is a son of David Dickey.
For about forty years the father of Mr. Dickey was engaged in a manufacturing business at New Castle. He was a native of Chester County, Pennsylvania. In 1902 he located at San Antonio, Tex., where he is interested in an irrigation plant and in rice culture.
Thomas F. Dickey was reared and educated at New Castle and was graduated from the city High School in the class of 1897, immediately afterward entering the law department of the University of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, and remained there two years, subsequently finishing his studies with Attorney Gregory of New Castle. He was admitted to the bar in January, 1902, and entered into partnership with Harry K. Gregory, under the firm name of Gregory & Dickey. He is a member of the Lawrence County Bar Association. In politics he is identified with the Republican party, and in May, 1906, was its candidate for nomination for district attorney, his early successes at the bar making his party's action a natural choice. He was defeated by but ninety votes.
In July, 1904, Mr. Dickey was married to Miss Emily L. Byers, who is a daughter of H. W. and Jennie M. Byers. The late H. W. Byers was superintendent of the New Casile Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Mr. and Mrs. Dickey have one daughter, Emily Louise. They attend Trinity Episcopal Church. He takes an active interest in several fraternal organizations, the Masons and the Elks, and he is a popular member of the Lawrence Club and the New Castle Country Club. His offices are in the Lawrence Savings and Trust Building, New Castle.
