Kirwin Kansan--February 11, 1914
Mrs. Mabel Dickinson Passes Away Thursday Morning
Mabel Barron, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Barron was born near Cedar, Smith County, Kansas, December 20, 1875. There her childhood days were spent until October 1890 when the family moved to Kirwin which place has since been their home. Here the children have grown to manhood and womanhood having the respect and confidence of a large circle of friends.
On August 22, 1906, she was united in marriage to Dr. R. J. Dickinson of this place. This union was of brief duration; however, for on November 13, 1906, her husband was taken from her by death.
Since then she had been assistant to her father who is postmaster here. A short time ago her mother was taken with smallpox and her father's home placed under quarantine, thus keeping him from the Post Office and placing the responsibility upon her. This with the anxiety for her relatives (her daughter and a brother having contracted the disease) was too much for her and on Wednesday night her heart gave away. Medical aid was at once secured but to no avail, and Thursday, February 5 at 6:15 a.m. she passed away.
She leaves one daughter, father and mother, one sister, Miss Eva Barron, and four brothers, J. W., W. A., Bert M., and Roy C., one sister having preceded her in death. The afflicted relatives have the deepest sympathy of the entire community.
As a child she had professed faith in Christ and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church. This faith permeated her entire life. She possessed it in life, it possessed her in death.
No death recently has occurred in Kirwin which has come more unexpectedly or with a great shock to the entire community than that of Mrs. Mabel Dickinson. She closed the Post Office at the usual time and after eating supper with the William Gudger family went to her room apparently in her usual health and spirits. A little later she called Mrs. Gudger who found her choking and complaining of her heart. Dr. Harrison H. Johnson was summoned, and later, Dr. E. A. Nelson of Phillipsburg and Dr. L. A. Golden of Kensington were called, and these doctors worked with her all night until she died. From the first it was a losing fight.
Her death seems more sad because, Mother, Father, Daughter and Sister were quarantined in the next house and the Brother and Family in their home less than two blocks away. Who can tell the anguish of the mother heart? Her Brothers, Will from Phillipsburg, and Roy from Kensington arrived before she died. These brothers and the other, Bert from Kensington, and Dr. Dickinson's brother, John from Waterville and a very few friends attended the funeral. This fact, however, is no measure of the esteem in which Mr. Dickinson was held but a manifestation of the natural and reasonable fear and abhorrence people have of contracting smallpox. The casket was covered with flowers sent by loving relatives and friends. The service was conducted by her pastor, Rev. Gordon Waggoner of the M. E. Church, and the interment made in the Kirwin Cemetery.
The doctors in attendance affirm that hers was not a case of smallpox as is shown by the following:
