He was a victim of cancer, but in an incipient form, it was thought, and was at the institution named for a second operation. This was performed, pneumonia developing soon after, and resulting in death at the time named. Notice of his critical condition was sent to his mother, who, it is understood, reached him before his death. Deceased was a World War veteran, was with the A. E. F. in France and took part in several of the major conflicts there. He was of English ancestry, his grandfather, Gen. Sir. C. Dickson, being an officer in the British army. His father, who passed away at the Clifton Forge hospital some four or five years ago, came to America in 1875, locating in Highland soon there after. He was married in 1887 to Miss Mary McNett of Jackson’s River, who survives him as do also one sister, Mrs. Chas. E. Swadly of Highland, and three brothers, Stuart, of Marlinton West Va., Robert A., formerly of Mt. Solon and now at the Dickson home near Trimble, and Roy, of Jacksonville,Fla. Deceased was a local veterinarian and received most of his practice in his native county. His age is given as 35, and he was known as a young man of kind disposition, cordial and gentlemanly in his bearing toward all. His remains were met in Staunton Monday night by Paul Slaven of the local undertaking firm, brought to Hamilton Chapel, near Trimble, where an appropriate service was held Tuesday morning, and interment in Monterey cemetery took place Tuesday afternoon. Highland Recorder December 19, 1930 This community was greatly grieved when the message came announcing, the death of our friend and neighbor, William C. Dickson, who departed this life at the government hospital, No folk, Va , on Nov. 28, 1930. Aged 39 years. He had been taking treatment there for sometime, but it seemed that his days on earth were numbered, his labors and suffering were ended, and he is now no more among the living. His mother received the message of his approaching death and left immediately for his bedside but was too late to greet her dear boy alive, for he had passed away before she reached the place where he was. “Bill”, as he was more commonly known, was a friend to all. He was kind and accommodating and was ever ready to lend a helping hand. He was a local veterinary and will also be greatly missed in that respect for he was called both near and far to render his assistance. He was very affectionate to his mother, who greatly mourns his death, as he lived with her and took care of her since the death of his father a few years ago. But he knowing of his critical condition, told his friends he was ready and prepared to go, and was not afraid to die. He leaves, his mother, one sister, and three brothers, and a host of friends and neighbors to mourn the death of him, whom they loved so well. .The large gathering of people at his funeral and burial showed the esteem in which. he was held. The floral tribute was beautiful. Primrose Death Certificate Father: C.A. Dickson Mother: M.L. McNett Martial Status: Single Death Location: U.S. Marine Hospital, Norfolk, Va
