The Obituary of Mrs. Dykeman Of St. Augustine (from an unknown newspaper source)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ST. AUGUSTINE, Ill., April 20.--(Special.)--
Julia Adkisson Dykeman was born May 26, 1858 on a farm in the Pleasant Ridge neighborhood and died at her home in St. Augustine, April 14, 1929. She was the daughter of James and Elizabeth (Harper) Adkisson. Her mother died May 14, 1868. Her father died at his home in St. Augustine, April 25, 1908. This has been the home of Julia Dykeman since 1913, and here she departed this life on Sunday morning at 3 o'clock. Her health had been falling for a period of three years. On Saturday she was busy with her usual tasks and greeted her neighbors in her usual cheery way. She expired without warning, being afflicted with carditis.
Julia was educated in the public schools. Being about ten years of age when her mother died, she early assumed the cares of household life. She united with the Christian church at St. Augustine at the age of seventeen and retained full membersip in the same when death called her. She was married to Stephen Dykeman November 22, 1882, and set up housekeeping in Deerfield township, Fulton county. Two sons were born to this union, Charles of Abingdon and Arthur at home. The family moved to Thayer, Iowa about 1890 where they resided for seven years. They then returned to St. Augustine.
Seldon (sic) does a woman minister to as many persons as has Julia Dykeman served. She raised to young womanhood Annie Pultz, who left her care about 1912. When but an infant, she took her sister's child, Blanche Powell, to mother. Words fail to express all her deeds of service for others.
Her husband preceded her in death January 26, 1923. James Adkisson of Trumbull, Nebraska, a brother is the only member of her father's family surviving. He with his family came for a visit with his sister last fall. It was a happy reunion for them, the first in twenty-one years. Julia Dykeman also leaves grandchildren, one great grandchild, nieces, nephews, many relatives by marriage, cousins, friends and neighbors to sincerely mourn her departure.
Funeral services were conducted on Tuesday, April 16, 1929, at 2:30 p.m. at the Christian church of St. Augustine by the Rev. Adcock of Abingdon, who spoke words of comfort and instruction. A very large concourse of sympathizing relatives and friends was present to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased. The service of song and music was rendered by Mrs. Mildred Fritz, Mrs. Blanche Bates and Mrs. Esther Babbitt. The pall bearers were: Geo. Aringdale, Thos. Sailer, Richard Dwyer, Patrick Kenedy, Jas. Fogarty and Edward Burke. There were many very beautiful flowers. Mrs. Mary Barnes and Miss Jennie Stevens being the flower bearers. Interment was made in the Babbitt cemetery by the side of her departed husband. The grave was prepared for burial by D.W. Sebree and Jay Rankin. W.E. Tarrant of Abingdon ably performed ---(this portion missing)
