86th birthday anniversary  

Uncle Billy Dickinson enjoys family reunion to celebrate the occasion

    The eighty-sixth birthday anniversary of William L. Dickinson was 
very happily observed at the home in St. James on Weds. April 23rd.  

    The extremely inclement weather prevented a large number of the 
old neighbors and friends from being present, but the following relatives 
were there to do fitting honor to the notable occasion: Dr. L.E. 
Dickinson, wife and baby of Rockville, NE, Byron E. Townsend and W.P. 
Hill and wife of Randolph, Mrs. Thomas Smith and daughter Eslie of 
Coleridge, Mrs. J.C. Dawson and Willie Smith of Vermillion, SD., and 
Mrs. A.D. Townsend of Ponca. 

    Mr. Dickinson although at this ripe old age, is still comparatively 
hale and hearty and he and his estimable wife were able to fully enjoy 
the occasion and do full justice as host and hostess. A very sumptious 
turkey dinner was served and fully enjoyed and the day spent in a jolly 
manner. Uncle "Billy" Dickinson has been a resident of Cedar county for 
forty-seven years and is one of only a few of the old guard remaining 
that blazed the path for the comforts we are enjoying today. He tells 
many interesting stories and reminiscences of the pioneer days in Cedar 
co.
