After four months of suffering, Mrs. Dickey, widow of the late Judge T. Lyle Dickey, passed away yesterday morning at the Palmer House where she has long resided. Shortly after the death of the late Judge, Mrs. Dickey's health begain to fail rapidly, and she came from Ottawa to Chicago for treatment. Her ailment at the time was enfeebled action of the heart, which brought on coagulation of blood in the region of the heart, and clots formed were transmitted through the arteries to the lower limbs, and they became clogged. Amputation of one of the limbs had to be resorted to some days since to prolong life, but her system was too enfeebled to sustain the shock, and she succombed yesterday morning at 8 o'clock, her sisters, Mrs. Jones and Mrs. A.M. Baker being present at her deathbed. Mrs. Dickey, who was married to Judge Dickey in 1870, was an old resident of the city and shared the social honors of her husband, to whom she was devoted.
