Near Middle CreekThane Edward Dickinson, son of John and Juliette Dickinson, was born Nov. 11, 1889 and almost his entire life was spent in the community where he was born and grew to manhood, Harmony township, this county.
After finishing the country school he entered Gem City Business college where he graduated. He served in the army in the First World War, a member of Co. B. 54th Ammunition Train, Coast Artillery Corp. He was on duty with the American Expeditionary forces from August 1918 to February 1919, and was on his way to the front lines with supplies, when the Armistice was signed.
On September 8th, 1930 he was married to Eulah Couchman. Always devoted to his home, he continually planned things that they could add for its comfort. Enjoying his farming activities, Thane also took much interest in the garden and the flowers which bloomed so profusely around their home.
He took an active interest in educational affairs of his community, being a director for twelve consecutive years, and was always ready to do anything to advance the interests of the school.
Thane was the eldest son of his father's family and as such, assumed much responsibility in caring for the mother and father in their declining years, and his uncles, George and Sam Dickinson, who looked to him in any emergency.
For a number of years Thane and Eulah gladly shared their home with an aged uncle, Uncle Henry Couchman and also a sister, Adelia Couchman, who has so faithfully helped care for him during his illness.
He was a member of the American Legion and enjoyed the activities of this organization.
He was a member of the Methodist church, having united with the Elm Tree church in his young manhood. Here he continued faithful, doing all he could to further the work of this rural church until the time of its disbanding. Later he transferred his membership to the church in Carthage and his regular attendance in the Fidelis S. S. class and church services was one of the pleasures of his life.
Thane was of a quiet, unassuming nature and although having strong conviction on matters of importance, was not prone to advance his own ideas, but always willing to cooperate with others. His quiet strength of character and unfailing reliability won him the respect of all who knew him.
His mother passed away in 1932 and his father in 1942. Also preceding him in death were a sister and two brothers who died in infancy, and a sister, Mrs. Gladys Crawford, who passed away in 1933.
Surviving are his wife and his sister-in-law, Miss Couchman, two brothers, Olaf and Galen, two sisters, Myrtle and Mrs. Mabel Barber, three nephews and two nieces to whom he was most devoted.
Funeral services for Mr. Dickinson were held Sunday afternoon, Sept. 30, at 2:30 o'clock, at the Carthage Methodist church, the Rev. C. J. Kinrade officiating.
