Sheridan, March 14.-- Mrs. Elizabeth Dickinson, mother of E. L. Dickinson, died at the home of her son, 3 North Rodney street, Helena, Tuesday March 5th, from the infirmities of age. Deceased was born June 2, 1822 in Philadelphia, Pa. In 1846 she was married to E. L. Dickinson, of a firm of book publishers then prominent in the Quaker City. Mrs. Dickinson came to Sheridan to make her home with her son in 1884 and with the exception of frequent visits to her son in the old home, she had resided here continuously until 1909 when she accompanied her son and family to Helena where she has since resided. She was a woman of high attainments and was interested in life's events. Having lived through three periods of war in which the United States participated and during the Civil war gave one of her three sons to the service of the country, she could realize with unusual poignancy, during the present world conflict, the sacrifices that the mothers of today are making. Her character was one that radiated kindness which she maintained through out her long afflictions as an invalid of the late years of her life. She is survived by one son, E. L. Dickinson, three grand daughters, Mrs. Frank Germain, Mildred and Mary Dickinson all of Helena, and two grandsons in Philadelphia. The funeral service was held from the family home in Helena, Rev. S. D. Hooker of the Episcopal church, conducting the religious service.
