HENRY DIXON WAS FOUND DEAD NEAR HIS HOME TUESDAY

Henry Dixon, a lifelong resident of this community, was found lying dead on the sidewalk in front of his home in the southeast part of town about 11 o'clock Tuesday forenoon. It was evident that he was a victim of a heart attack as it was known that he had suffered several severe attacks and that his death occurred as he was engaged in removing the snow from the sidewalk. His lifeless body was found by Dennis Iles and Chester Carlson as they were delivering milk on Mr. Iles' route.

Mr. Dixon was 62 years old and leaves to mourn his death, one brother, Albert, and a few cousins. Definite funeral arrangements have not been made as yet but may be held Friday. Miller's in charge.
