Kathy Ferguson recently sent me a picture of a sharply dressed young man who was very important in our family history. It’s my grandfather’s uncle, Charles Dixon. Charles was a brother of Joe Dixon (Jr). Uncle Charles, as an older gentleman, gave shelter to my grandparents after they were married. They were young and couldn’t afford a place of their own. I previously posted the obituary for Charles. I wish I had a few stories to tell us more about what kind of person he was… although we know he must have been a decent fellow.
Update: The blog has a couple of very interesting stories about Charles in his younger, single days thanks to the local newspaper from the time that is now online. I have many blog entries detailing all of the family related articles from the late 1880’s through the early 1900’s.
