From Story County Watchman January 6, 1905

Colo.

John Dickinson, son of J. K. Dickinson, near here, died on Friday at the age od 17 years from a large boil on the back of his neck which had been pestering him for some time resulting in so called blood poisoning. No one thought it would result seriously until just before the end came. From that the utmost sympathy was given the parents of the lad, and all done to alleviate the work but in vain the dread messenger came in due time and all bowed submission to the will thus expressed.
