DIED – At Middle Grove, Fulton county, Ill. Feb. 1, 1850, ADDISON, oldest son of CORNELIUS and LYDIA DICKEMAN, aged seventeen years, formerly of Cayuga county, N.Y.
His disease was lung fever, which terminated fatally on the fifteenth day after the attack. During his illness and while suffering with the severest pain, he manifested a degree of patience and resignation truly remarkable. By this dispensation of Divine Providence, the bereaved parents are deprived of a lonely and amiable son, and society of a bud of promise. All who were acquainted with the subject of this notice, can deeply sympathize with the sorrowing friends in their loss; gentle and winning in manner, truthful and affectionate in disposition, Addison was beloved by all who knew him. His qualities were of that kind which fitted him for the companionship of angels and the society of Heaven, rather than for intercourse with earth and its cold and stern realities. In contemplating the character of this young and lovely being, cut off at an early age, and apparently at the commencement of his usefulness, the words of the poet seem to rise instinctively and apply with peculiar force –“And Hope and Love and beauties bloom, Are blossoms gathered for the tomb.”Funeral discourse by the Rev. James Hill, from Job, fourteenth chapter, fourteenth verse.Knoxville Journal: Mar. 20, 1850
