Joseph Freemont (Joe) Dixon Jr.


Joe Dixon was my grandfather George Dixon's father. He married Mina Kershaw, George's mother, and had several children. He lived in Dixon Precinct, where he farmed and had other business interests. Among these was a monument business and the Red Hill filling station, on Hwy 15 outside of Albion.


Like Uncle Warren's station in Anderson, it still stands, but has been renovated completely and looks nothing like the original building.


Joe Jr. and Mina are buried in Ridge Cemetery, along with his parents and grandparents.
