The Family of Reynold Hall & Hanah A. Dickinsen Contributed by Peter Fadden.
The Dickensen family was among the earliest settlers in this territory (Abbotsford, Clark Co., WI). Reynolds Hill Dickensen was born in New York State, migrated to Illinois before the civil war and enlisted in the Union army. Returning to Illinois he married Hannah A. Beale in 1865. The couple came to Wisconsin in 1875 later settling in the town of Hull, just east of Riverside. They had five children, George, Earl, Edith, Birdie and Mable. Mr. Dickensen accidentally shot himself while cleaning a gun in his home in 1896. Mrs. Dickensen died at the age of 85 at the home of a daughter, Mrs. August Strebe in Abbotsford in 1927. The children of the Dickensens all married descendents of early pioneers. George was married in 1890 to Jennie Cramer, Edith to Allie Cramer, the brother of George's wife. The Cramers were early pioneers. Earl Dickensen married Nannie Swan of Abbotsford, whose parents were early settlers in the town of Wein. They were married in 1900 as was Birdie, who married Robert Hamilton, a step-son of Niles Parkhill. The Parkhill family were also one of the early settlers in the area Robert Hamilton was chairman of the Town of Hull and a member of the Marathon County Board for many years. Mabel Dickensen married August Strebe in 1933. Strebe was a prominent Abbotsford resident and represented Abbotsford on the Marathon County Board for many years. Abbotsford Centennial, pg. 85.
Civil War Service
Based upon my knowledge of the 60th NY Regimental History, and a review of the brief history of the 53rd Illinois, there are similar service in the Campaigns for Atlanta, March to the Sea and the Campaign for the Carolinas. My gg-grandfather Henry Gleason was present for all of these with the 60th NY. Peter J. Fadden, PE
