The Death of A. B. Dickson,

which occurred Wednesday night, August 25th at the family home in Collins is intensely regretted. Ben was about nineteen years of age, and had been attending the Leander Clark Academy at Toledo for the past two years, and was spending the vacation with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Dickson of this city. On Sunday he was taken ill but his condition did not cause anxiety till an hour before his death. The funeral was held on Friday and his classmates from Toledo, served as pall bearers. He was a young man of worth and promise and such an one as can illy be spared. His parents and two sisters survive.
