Julia Abigail Dick, third child of William and Frances Dancy Dick, was born February 13, 1860, in Fulton county (sic), Ill., and departed this life March 28, 1940, at the home of her daughter near Hardy, Neb., at the age of 80 years, 1 month and 15 days.
August 10, 1880, she was united in marriage to Robert Kay Dick and to this union were born six children. About a year and a half after their marriage, they moved to Tecumseh, Neb., where their first child was born. She came with her family to Kansas in 1883, locating south of Republic, where they resided until they moved to Missouri in 1895. It was while living in Webb City, Mo., that sorrow's hand was laid upon them exceedingly heavy when inside of six weeks three of their children died of typhoid fever: Verda Mae, 16, Margaret Edna, 11, and William Everett, 20 months old.
In 1898 they returned to Kansas, living in and near Republic until the death of her husband in May, 1921, since which time she has made her home with her daughter, Gertrude.
She and her husband transferred their membership from the Presbyterian church (sic) in Missouri to the United Brethren church (sic) in Republic and lived devout Christian lives until the end. She was an ardent lover of her Lord and the church and a woman of faith and prayer.
She leaves to cherish her memory the following children, Mrs. Gertrude Sweet of Hardy; Walter Scott Dick of Salt Lake City, Utah, and Robert Fred Dick of Los Angeles, Cal.; two grandsons, Everett and Erwin Sweet; two sisters, Mrs. Frances Smith of Republic and Mrs. Homer Eiler of Pasadena, Cal.; two brothers, James Dancy of Farragut, Ia., and Ben Dancy of Oklahoma City; other relatives and friends.
Funeral services were held at the home of Mrs. Gertrude Sweet near Hardy and at the United Brethren church (sic) in Republic Sunday with the Rev. Gertrude Pettibon officiating and interment was in the Prairie Rose cemetery (sic).
