"MRS. C. C. DICKEY, LONG RESIDENT OF CITY, DIED
One of Founders of Musical Club and Art Critic; Had Valuable Collection of Etchings
Mrs. Mary Sherrod (sic) Dickey, wife of the late Dr. Clement C. Dickey, died at her home at 112 East Madison street yesterday morning at 8:30 o'clock. She had been ill for about three weeks.
Mrs. Dickey had been a resident of Colorado Springs for almost 30 years. She was one of the founders of the Colorado Springs Musical club, her home having been the birthplace of this organization, and had been corresponding secretary of it for the last few years. Mrs. Dickey always took a great interest in the musical life of the city. She also was interested in the Visiting Nurse association.
Mrs. Dickey is survived by one sister, Mrs. J. Claghorn, of Philadelphia, and a cousin, Mrs. Lydia Bennett, 810 North Weber street, this city. She was a member of one of the best-known families in Pennsylvania. For years she had been a critic of art and owned some very valuable etchings, some of them said to have been made in the Sixteenth century. At the time of her death she was planning to have them placed in the Metropolitan Museum of Arts in New York. Another possession which she prized very highly was an autograph book containing the names of seven presidents of the United States. Names of other prominent personages in the book are Dolly Madison, Robert Burns, Lord Chesterfield and Lord Byron. This book, in accordance with a wish said to have been expressed by her, will be presented to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.
No arrangements for Mrs. Dickey's funeral have been made as yet."
