Clayton County?s Earliest Pioneer Gone
Edward Glover Dickens died at his home in North McGregor Wednesday, January 17, 1894 in his 79th year. He was stricken with paralysis about one week previous, from which he died. He was conscious to the last moment, but had lost the use of almost the entire body. He had lived in Clayton County nearly 60 years, and was one of the very first settlers.
Mr. Dickens was born near Elmwood,Smith County, Tennessee on July 15, 1815. He was the son of John Dickens. His mother died when he was an infant and he was raised by a neighbor who moved to Illinois and took Edward with them. Edward came to Iowa in 1832.
He is survived by his wife Mrs. Ann Drusilla Van Sickle Dickens, and sons; William Dickens of Lansing, Ia., Lucius Dickens of Lansing, Kansas, Robert Dickens of North McGregor, J. Wesley Dickens who resides in Oregon, C. Clayton Dickens of North McGregor, and daughters; Mrs. Larry Jennings , and Mrs. Ellyson of North McGregor, Mrs. C.A. Luce and Mrs. Lee of Republican City, Neb., Mrs Gill of Sibley, Ia., and Miss Mary Dickens still at home.
Proceeding him in death were his son M. Edward Dickens and a step-son Henry Harding who was killed in the Civil War. The children were all present except the two sons in Oregon and Kansas
The funeral took place on Friday Jan. 19th, and was largely attended. Devotional exercises were conducted both at the residence and the hall by Rev. Marsha. A fitting tribute to his memory was delivered by Judge Murdock, which will be found in full in this issue of The Times.
?Uncle Ned? as he was familiarly called is no more. He saw Clayton County in her primeval beauty, and watched her progress to a rich and populous county. The scenes of grandeur he must have witnessed in his tramps through forest and glen. He loved the solitude of the forest and was happy and content with but just enough of this world's goods to meet nature's demands. He sought no public office, neither did he seek to pile up earthly stores. We knew and respected him as we believe all did who knew him.
