Mahoning Dispatch, Fri, 6 Jan 1899
"The unexpected is that which often happens. After an illness of about four weeks James R. Dickson, superintendent of the Mahoning county infirmary, passed quietly away on Monday morning about 1:30 o'clock. Death was due to an internal cancerous growth. Mr. Dickson was born in Canfield, January, 1841, and had always lived here. He enjoyed good educational advantages and was, for a time, a teacher of acknowledged abilities. He was a gallant soldier in the civil war, serving for three years in the 125th OVI. At the battle of Chickamauga he was wounded, his left hand being pierced by a bullet which made him a cripple for life. In 1869 (her obit Nov 1868) he was married to Miss Sophia Hartzell, daughter of the late Solomon Hartzell of North Benton. His wife and two sons, Clyde and Alexander, survive him. He also leaves an aged father and three brothers – William, Alexander and Samuel, all of Canfield. He was for many years a member and officer in the Presbyterian church of Canfield and adorned his profession by a consistent Christian life. In 1892 he received the unsolicited appointment of superintendent of the county infirmary and held the position until the time of his death. His administration was, in an eminent degree, successful, and in the discharge of his arduous and difficult duties he secured the confidence of the public to an extent that was truly wonderful. The voice of unfriendly criticism was, in his case, seldom or never heard. The entire community lament the loss of a truly good and useful man. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. W. G. White of Youngstown, were held Wednesday afternoon, a large concourse of sorrowing friends being in attendance. The remains were laid to rest in the village cemetery."
