| Notes |
- 1. Notes for John Westly Dixon:The following is from page 80 of "The Dixon Story: A Family History (RE)" by Dexter Dixon: While my father John W. Dixon has been dead some 36 years, yet I have strong impression to write a short sketch of his devoted christian life. "He being dead speaketh." I never knew how I should appreciate such a father as I had until he was taken away from us and especially since I hope I have obtained the same like precious blessing he did. Oh if time could turn backward where I could have the pleasure of talking to my beloved father again, but I have a hope to meet him before long in a better place than this world. He was born Oct. 23, 1845 and died April 1902. He was married to pheobe Caudill, daughter of the late Isom and Lizzie (Back) Caudill in 1867. To this union was born seven children: five boys and two girls, a boy and a girl having died in infancy. Nancy and James C. both grown and married with families, died some years ago, William C., Isom and Jerry P. are still living. Mother died in April 1887 at the age of 37 years. Later father was married the second time to Rachel Eldridge. To this union was born four children, Polly Ann, Mary and Rebecca, girls and Pearl B., a son, all living and married. Father and mother both joined the Indian Bottom Church of Regular Baptist in their young days and were ordained deacon and deaconess of that church. Father was clerk of that church shortly after he joined until death. I never knew a more devoted christian than he was. While he was poor in this world's goods, he was rich in the spiritual love of God. His tattered garments and the need of his work at home was never in his way when the church meeting come. He always filled his seat in the church when possible, "The love of Christ constrained him". He was strong in the faith, he was the oldest child of the late Elder James Dickson. Written by W. C. Dixon The above was copied from the Minutes of the forty-third Annual Session of the Indian Bottom Association of Old Regular Baptist in the year 1938.
