He went with his parents from New York to Wisconsin in 1850 and in his nineteenth year. He came to this county in 1856 and took up a tract of land in Grant township of which he has since been a resident. He was the first Free Soil settler on Banner creek and an active participant in the trouble which then distressed the unhappy territory. He was strenuously opposed to slavery and enlisted under the banner of John Brown, being with him in many of the history making scenes which followed and prior to his detention at Harper's Ferry. In 1860 Mr. Dickson engaged as a wagon master for the government and was thus occupied until 1868. He engaged principally in freighting supplies across the plains from Ft. Leavenworth to Fort Riley, Kearney, now Denver, Colo., Ft. Laramie and Windgate and as far as Salt Lake City. At the expiration of this service he became a government surveyor and operated thus until 1874 when he was elected county surveyor of Jackson county and retained this office until 1884 when he was elected Representative in the Kansas Legislature for one term. In 1872 he was married to Miss Lizzie Granger of this county. Three children were born to this union, Robert P. Dickson, Flora L. Townsend and James F., who departed this life some years ago. He joined the M. E. church soon after his marriage and has been a faithful and efficient member and official in the Banner church ... .... The interment was in the family plot at Holton cemetery. The Recorder-Tribune, September 6, 1906.
