DIXON
Another of Rock Island's old and well known citizens, James. T
Dixon, has
passed away, his death having occurred yesterday at Mercy
Hospital in this
city. The deceased has suffered more or less from rheumatism for
the past
twenty years and it was this, combined with other ailments, which
finally
resulted in his death. For the past few months, Mr. Dixon's mind
has been
effected and it was found advisable to place him under the care
of hospital
physicians. Mr. Dixon has been a resident of Rock Island since
1872, having
left his native home in Ireland for this country twelve years
before. He was
a tailor by trade and has conducted a tailoring establishment in
Rock Island
since taking up his residence in that city. In 1872 Mr. Dixon was
married to
Elizabeth Don, whose death occurred about six years after their
marriage. He
is survived by two brothers, one living in Rock Island and the
other in
Dixon, Ill. The deceased was quite a prominent citizen of Rock
Island and
was a member of the Knights of Pythias and Masonic orders.
