John P Dickey died yesterday at his home in Geneva at a very advanced age. Mr. Dickey had no particular ailment, and his death was probably due to old age. He was between seventy five and eighty years old. Mr. Dickey had lived in Allen County for about thirty five years. Until a few years ago he owned a farm near Geneva, where he has lived ever since. He was a member of the Presbyterian church. The funeral will be held at the Presbyterian church in Geneva tomorrow, and burial will be at Geneva. Mr. Dickey enlisted on Nov. 16, 1861 in Company D, 9th Kansas as a private. In December of '63 he was promoted to quartermaster sergeant and was mustered out at Little Rock, Arkansas in December of '64. Bio In the year 1857 Mr. Dickey arrived in Kansas, which was then a territory having not yet assumed the dignity of Statehood. He secured a claim on Martin Creek and there resided until his country's call for aid prompted his enlistment as a member of Company D, Ninth Kansas Cavalry. He served for three years along the border of Missouri and Arkansas, escorting trains as they passed to and fro. His command was mostly engaged in guard duty, but occasionally met a band of bushwhackers, which would be followed by a skirmish. At the close of the war the subject of this review returned to his adopted State, locating in Geneva where he was identified with its building interests. He had the honor of building the first school house and the first church ever erected in Allen County, the location being in district No. 1 of Geneva. In 1867 Mr. Dickey removed to his farm and has since carried on agricultural pursuits with marked success. He owns one hundred and sixty acres of rich and arable land and has developed a valuable property. In front of his commodious residence is a wide lawn on which stand beautiful shade trees protecting the home from the hot rays of the summer sun. His extensive barns and outbuildings furnish shelter for grain and stock. When he arrived in Kansas he had only twelve dollars in money, and that served as a nucleus for his present comfortable competence. His success was assured from the beginning because he possesses those qualities which contribute to prosperity. He has always been a staunch advocate of Republican principles, voting with the party since he cast his first ballot for General John C. Fremont. In all life's relations he has been found true to duty, whether it has been in the fields of industrial or agricultural business, in military circles or in the walks of private life. There has been manifest in his career a persistency of purpose that when guided by sound judgment never fails of reward.
