Steuben-Republican   October or November of 1878

        Mrs. Emily G. Dickerson, wife of our townsman, M. L. Dickerson, 
Esq., the mention of whose death is made in another part of this paper, 
was born in Palmyra, Michigan, and was at the time of death in the 37th 
year of her age.  Mrs. Dickerson had been in poor health for a number of 
weeks and on last Thursday, was taken worse with a brain disease, from 
which time she has remained much of the time, unconscious, yet seemed to 
realize the serious nature of her illness.  Some two years ago she 
united with the M. E. church, at this place and ever afterwards remained 
a working, exemplary christain.  She leaves a husband and one son, who 
ever found her a faithful wife and kind mother, and who have the sincere 
sympathy of all in their sad bereavement.  The funeral services took 
place at the Methodist church at 10 o'clock, yesterday, Rev. C. G. 
Hudson, minister officiating.
