Clarence Dickson grew to manhood in Texas, working at the electrical trade as a young man. Upon the outbreak of the Spanish-American War he enlisted and served as a First Sergeant of Co. H, 2nd Texas Regiment. Following the war he returned to Texas and in Fort Worth, on June 21, 1905, he was united in marriage to Miss Evelyn Alvord. Two children were born into the home, Howard and Dorothy.

Mr. Dickson served 22 months in the World War as a First Lieutenant of the 341st Machine Gun Battalion, 89th Division.
