Charles H. Dawson, 66, well known retired farmer of this city died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. R. O. Sampson, at the end of Avenue J, on First street, Thursday morning at 6:15, as a result of a stroke of apoplexy which he suffered Tuesday afternoon and from which he never regained consciousness.
Mr. Dawson had been a resident of Story county since 1890, when he came here from Illinois, locating first on a farm in the north part of the county, but a year later he purchased a farm over in southwest Milford township, which was his home for number of years and where his family was raised.
Born at Lexington, Illinois, March 5, 1869, he made his home in that state and on March 23, 1880 was united in marriage to Miss Virginia Hotsenpiller who died in March of 1908. To this union four sons and six daughters were born, all of whom live to mourn the death of the parents with the exception of the son Eugene, who died in infancy.
The sons are Herbert, Clarence and Merle, all of whom are now located a Memphis, Tenn. The daughters are Mrs. Mack Toms of near this city, Mrs. Nellie Bishop of Mt. Pleasant, Mrs. Adam Ballard of Ames, Mrs. Ralph Sampson and Miss Irene Dawson of this city and Miss Mable Dawson, who is now at Memphis. Besides these he leaves two brothers, Will Dawson of Waterloo and Howard Dawson of Ames, as well as other more distant relatives.
Mr. Dawson resided upon his farm in Milford township until about 1915 when he moved to Oklahoma, where he resided for over a year, after which he returned to Nevada in 1917, and this has been his home since, although he has spent more or less of the time visiting with his children in Memphis and other places.
He was a successful farmer and stockman and accumulated considerable property as a result of his life's work.
