Sterling, Ohio, August 27, 1827, but his parents moved to Illinois five years later, so that his life has been spent almost entirely in this state. Mr. Dawson was united in marriage to Miss Almeda Adams in 1848 and they had two children. The daughter is still living but the son died in infancy. His first wife died fifty years ago, and he contracted a second marriage with Miss Amanda Fell in 1854. To them seven children were born, three daughters and four sons. All are living excdept one son who died after nearly reaching his majority. Mr. Dawson became a member of the U.B. Church in early life, but subsequently transferred his membership to the M.E. Church. In 1861 he enlisted in Co. K, 26th Ill. V.I. and served with Ab. Woods and Jas. Smith. His second wife died about 1875. Mr. Dawson has been in rather feeble health for a number of years. He was however up and around most of the time. He had a bad attack of stomach trouble Sunday, but was on the street Wednesday. he roomed with Dr. Payne and yesterday forenoon when the doctor went into his room he found that the spirit had flown. He gave notice at once and his absent children were sent for. The funeral of George Dawson was held Friday afternoon from the residence of Dr. Payne. His son Clarence L. Dawson of Jacksonville, and his daughter, Mrs. H.H. Barbour of Chicago were present at the service. They responded as quickly as possible upon receiving the sad news of their father's sudden death. Rev. J.E. Connor preached a very able and comforting sermon. G.A.R. men acted as bearers and the G.A.R. burial service was read at the grave. The body was laid to rest in the Dawson Cemetery. Thus another of the early setters of the upper Mackinaw has passed to his reward and another of the defenders of the Republic has ground his arms and is waiting for the final roll call of the Great Commander.
