James Dixon was born in England July 15, 1812, and immigrated with his father to America When about 12 years of age. He has lived in this county a number of years, at one time about a mile south of Mt. Ayr, and again about four miles northwest of Mt. Ayr, at which latter place he died January 13, 1889. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His wife preceded him to the unseen country. A son still lives in the county. A daughter, perhaps also other children, reside elsewhere. The funeral sermon was preached at Mt. Ayr, at the Methodist church, by Rev. Wm. B. Thompson.
