3rd Sgt., Co. I, 30th Regt GA Vols Regt
Confederate States Army.
Interred between Howard H. Dickson and Annie E. Dickson.


"W. W. Dickson was one of the best soldiers in the army. He was born in Clayton County and was of excellent parentage. It is said that he was never on the sick list but once during the war. He was in every skirmish and battle in which the regiment was engaged. He says he threw down his gun for the first and only time when he was captured at Nashville. He was a prisoner at Camp Chase, and returned home in the summer of 1865. He afterwards married a Miss Clinton, an estimable lady, and has raised a large family, all of whom live in Clayton County, and are among the best people of the county. Mr. Dickson was several years one of the County Commissioners of Clayton County and is at present chairman of the County Board of Education. He is a member of the Methodist church. He is justly considered one of the most solid citizens of his county and is highly esteemed by his many friends." ("Brief History of the Thirtieth Georgia Regiment," p. 93)
