Mary Townsend Dickinson
Died. At the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Emeline Eastin, in Louisburg, Kas., Nov. 1, 1890, Mary Dickinson, aged 87 years and 7 months.
Mary Townsend was born May 1, 1803, in Hancock-co., Tenn. She became the wife of James Dickinson in the year 1821. They were among the early settlers of Indiana and resided there until the death of her husband, which occurred October 14, 1872.
Fourteen children were born to them, six having preceded the mother to the grave. Seventy-three grandchildren, forty-six surviving ones, forty-one great-grandchildren, three great-great-grandchildren and eight children live to remember mother and "Grandmother" in love and kindness.
"Grandma," as she was called by every one, was a patient sufferer from that dread disease cancer, which was slow but sure to attain its dreadful end. But her sufferings were borne with that patient resignation that came from a firm belief in the word of Him who said "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee."
She was a firm and intelligent believer in the word of the living God, recognizing the great fact that future life is only possible through a union with the life giver, Jesus Christ. At an early age she became a member of the Christian church, and lived a faithful Christian life. The funeral services were conducted by the Baptist minister, Rev. Shaw, at the residence, Monday, November, 3, 1890.
