She was the daughter of Otho and Catherine Workman, and was born near Nelsonville, Hocking Co., C., her parents being of German and English desert. She was the fourth child of a family of ten children, six of whom and her father having pro ceeded her in death. Her mother and one brother, J. B. Workman, Cynthia Barnes, Josie Chambers and Amanda Workman survive her. Her parents emigrated from Ohio to Indiana in 1855, and on their journey to Greene county where they located it was a strange coincidence that they should stop overnight with Buckner Dick erson, whose son, O. T. Dickerson, she married sixteen years afterwards. She was united in marriage with Orris Thurston Dickerson, July 31, 1871, by the Rev. Thos. G. Price. To this union was born six children— one son and five daughters. One of her daughters,Emma Catherine, died in infancy; the serving children are: Walker T. Dickerson, Detroit, Mich.; Mrs. Frederick D. Cooper, Spencer, Ind.; Mrs. Albert E. Matthews, Ellettsville, Ind.; Mrs. Ferdinand J. Hermes, Covington, Ky.; Mrs. Gail Spangler, Spencer, Ind. She was a patient, devoted and loving wife and mother, faithful to her household and church. In 1868 she joined the Christian Union church and was a zealous worker in the church until 1884 when she and her husband moved from the farm to Spencer, Ind. She then united with the Baptist church, continuing her membership with that church until the year 1895. In the meantime her husband and children had become members of the Christian church.In order to be with her family she united with that church, and for the past thirteen years she was an earnest, faithful worker for God's cause. Her greatest desire was to live within its precepts. She was a true hearted, broad-minded, Christian woman. She was ever faith ful in her endeavors—to further the interest of the church. She devoted many days in helping to pay off the church debt, with her hands always striving to do something for her Master’s cause. Her last days on earth were a great trial and ordeal for her; her sufferings were untold, no one knows but the God above, yet withal that makes one shudder at the panga of the dreaded disease that was taking her life slowly away, she did not murmur. It was God’s will, not ours. Her last hours was one continua) praising her Redeem er, singing his praise of heaven, de claring her willingness to accept the most humble place in his fold. She died as she had lived in God’s graces her last words on earth were, What work will Jesus find for these poor hands to do? —— She is not dead, this friend, not dead But to the path we mortals tread not some few steps ahead. And nearer to the end, So that you, too, once past the bend, Shall meet again as face to face this friend You fancy dead, A dispatch from Evansville, Ind., ‘gays: “The Rev. John J.
