Death of Rev. J. S. DICKEY.

The Rev. Joseph DICKEY died at Fairfield, Iowa, Sept. 6, 1889. He had been laid aside from active work since April. In all his long ministry he had never before been hindred (sic) from his work by sickness except for four weeks some years ago. He was born in New Lisbon, Ohio, Feb. 16, 1816. He received his college education at Washington college, Pa., and Hanover, Ind., and his theological at Alleghany, Pa. He was licensed and ordained by the presbytery of Steubenville. He was married Oct. 1849, to a daughter of Rev. Jacob KUHN of Ohio, at one time principal of the academy at Haysville. His ministry was in New Lisbon presbytery almost entirely until he removed to Freeport, Ill., in 1853. There and in that vicinity he preached abont (sic) ten years, then came to Iowa. His was an active home missionary life. He was an acceptable preacher with clear and positive perceptions of truth, with true devotion to the interests of young and small churchs (sic) to which he for years preached three times on the Sabbath, riding from ten to sixteen miles a day. His last charge was the Meriden and Schaller churchs in Sac county. He had the support of a buoyant faith in his last days. He has left to the church the heritage of much seed sown in destitute fields, and many foundations upon which others have built, and to his family the memories of a faithful and anxious ministry.

Mr. M. Allmayer has purchased the Jordan property on East Burlington street, and moved into it Monday. It is a fine place, and the Allmayers will make it an elegant home. The family of Rev. J. S. DICKEY occupy the house from which Mr. Allmayer moved.
