George's Uncle was born in Dixon Precinct of course. But he moved in the early 20's to Texas. He moved back to Albion after his wife died. George and Della had probably already moved to Anderson by then.
The obituary does not give the date of his death. He was the second “Alfred Dixon” in our family in the early years in America. The family made a habit of naming children after siblings or parents of the newborn children. It actually helps when trying to do geneological research.
He was a rural mail carrier in Edwards County and had worked for the postal service while in Texas.
The article says that he was one of 8 children of J.F. Dixon Sr. and Grace Shaw Dixon, so our geneology chart may be more complete than we last thought. (His brother Charles Dixon's obituary says there were 10 children.)

I can't seem to find a date as to when Alfred died. Could you post the date?
