  • Notes 
    • Probably from Desoto Co, Miss. He left home around the age of 16 due to not getting along real well with his step-father. Had a number of children including Joe, Edwin, and Arty, plus some other sons and daughters. Cecil killed himself. R.H. Dickson traveled from Fort Smith to Rudy for the funeral in the caboose of a freight train. He made the round trip in a single day. It is likely that Cecil, his family and his parents might be buried near the church they attended in Rudy.

      (R.D. is Artie - He was listed wrong on the census.)

      In addition to the children listed, there were at least a couple of girls whose names Granddad did not recall. R.D. is the youngest and could be Robert D. There is a auto garage along Highway 71 north of Fort Smith owned by a Dickson who is the illegitimate child of R.D. According to Crawford County Marriage Book E, Cecil Dickson, age 19, married Zena Jones, age 16, on 21 Aug 1895. The marriage was performed by J. Brim.

      OCCUPATION: By way of occupation, Cecil was a farmer and cotton laborer.

      CALLED: Some list Cecil as Cecil Noel, but more, who have closer knowledge, call him Cecil Noyle Dickson

      23 Feb 2001 - From Millie McGrane:

      Kathleen O'Kelly, just 1/2 mile from where it all happened, relates: I called a member of the Hunter family today to ask why Cecil Noel Dickson killed himself. He told me that Cecil was a kind man, who worried a lot. Apparently, Cecil had mortgaged the farm at Citizen Bank. Due to the depression at the time (1931) and possibly a crop failure, he could not make the payment on the mortgage. This upset Cecil very much. One morning, he went into Rudy and some men there were razzing him about the bank taking the farm. This upset him very much. Cecil went back home and ate dinner. Then he got his 22 rifle to go squirrel hunting. Along in the late afternoon when he had not returned, Zenia decided to send the boys to look for him. When they returned without finding him, she thought for a little while and told one of the boys "I know where he is. Go look in the old house." This old house was to the left and up on the hill from the house they lived in. They went there and looked in the window. There sat Cecil against the wall, with the gun braced on a stick of wood. He had shot himself, the 10th of November 1931 and he died. He was buried in the Mt. McCurry Cemetery which was not very far from his home. The farm that Cecil mortgaged was known at the time as the old Jones place. It had apparently belonged to Zenia's family. The next generation called it the old Dickson place. The new generation calls it where the Stallings live. It is a pretty valley. The banker who repossessed the farm allowed Zenia and the children to continue to live there. Joe was still at home and he ran the farm. They still had their chickens,cows, pigs, and horses, as these were not mortgaged. Their family did pretty well and did not go hungry. They were as prosperous as the other families in that area at the time. I do not know Cecil's parents names. They can probably be found in the census records for Crawford or Mississippi Co, AR. Cecil's occupation was apparently farmer, but the family also picked cotton as did all the other families in the fall. It was extra money for all.

      Sincerely, Kathleen O'Kelley
