Description	:	John William Dickinson. The people of Hanover were greatly shocked this week when they learned of the death of Mr. J. William Dickinson, one of our most prominent young men, who less than two weeks ago was apparently enjoying as good health as the best. A week ago Saturday, Mr. Dickinson went to a physcian complaining of what he supposed to be a boil in his nose.

William Dickinson, one of our most prominent young men, who less than two weeks ago was apparently enjoying as good health as the best. A week ago Saturday, Mr. Dickinson went to a physcian complaining of what he supposed to be a boil in his nose. There was nothing to indicate serious trouble except a small red spot on his nose, and the pain he was suffering, but instead of a boil, a carbauncle developed, and although his physician did all in his power and called two more to his aid, nothing could be done to stop the disease, and Mr. Dickinson gradually grew worse, suffering great pain without a murmur, and never until the disease had reached a point where he did not realize what he was doing did the brave spirit give any indication of the agony he suffered. Trained nurses were secured from Dubuque and everything done which medical science and human ingenuity could devise to allay the disease and suffering but without avail, one about eight o'clock Monday morning the spirit took its flight. John William Dickinson was born in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, May 20, 1882, and died at his home in Hanover, Ill., on Oct. 12, 1908, aged 26 years, 4 months and 22 days. After living in several places in the east, Mr. Dickinson went to Bonaparte, Iowa, with his father about seven years ago. Less than four years ago he came to Hanover where he resided until his death. On Jan. 8, 1907, Mr. Dickinson was united in marriage to Miss Georgiana Troutman, of Bonaparte, Iowa, and brought his bride to Hanover where they commenced housekeeping. Mr. Dickinson, at the time of his death, was employed in the Hanover Woolen Mill as boss carder, and was among the best liked and most trusted of its employees. About two years ago Mr. Dickinson and his wife joined the M.E. church of this place. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge of this place, a member of the Modern Woodman and also a member of the Union Central Live Insurance Co. Since coming to Hanover Mr. Dickinson made many friends by his quiet, gentlemanly manners and upright Chrisitan life. He was liked by all and best liked by those who knew him best. In his death this community suffers a great loss, for 'tis such men as William Dickinson who make the world better for their having lived in it, and Hanover can ill afford to lose; such a citizen; a man who was always found on the side of right, truth and justice. He was prominent in the Church and Sunday School, having a class of boys in the Sabbath School, who were very much attached to him. he was also a favorite in social circles, his talent as a violinsit, as well as his quiet, pleasant way, making him a favorite everywhere. Besides his faithful and loving wife, he leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Dickinson, of Lacon, Ill.; three brothers: A.T. and Joseph E., of Lacon, Ill.; James E., of Stamford, Conn.; and a sister, Eva E. of Lacon. The remains will be taken to Bonaparte to-day and the funeral held there on Thursday where the remains will be interred.--Hanover Journal. Source: Van Buren Co.
