For many years a resident of this city, drown Monday morning while attempting to row across the wild waters of the Tualatin, two miles South of this place. Young Dixon bade his wife and little children goodbye and wanted to catch the Monday morning train to Gaston. He had to hurry so decided to row across the rive and save distance when the accident occurred. Hugh Brady, a noted diver, came out from Portland on Tuesday and found the body at about 5:30.
He was the third son of Jacob Dixon and was born in Iowa 33 years ago. Mr. Dixon came here in 1896 with his brother, Ed, of this city. He married Miss Mary Elliott at the home of the groom's father on February 25, 1897 by Rev. J. W. Starr.
His wife and seven little children survive. A single fact about his children is that six of them are three pairs of twins.
