LOCAL BUSINESS MAN DIES SUDDENLY
Bentonville friends were shocked Wednesday when it was learned that Dwight Bennett Dickson had succumbed to a short illness with meningitis, passing away at his home at 9:30 that morning.
On Monday he had been about the offices of the Dickson Motor Co, in which he was senior partner, apparently in good health. That evening he became troubled with pains in his ear which gradually grew worse, and despite every effort, medical assistance was without avail.
Bennett Dickson was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Dickson, and was born near Jefferson Springs in 1889, being 33 years, 11 months, and 14 days old. He grew to manhood in this county. He is survived by his parents and one brother, Russell, associated with him in business.
He also leaves to mourn him in death, a grief stricken wife, baby daughter, Marguerite, and twin sons, Lon Russell and Dwight Bennett.
Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at 3 o’clock from the home of S. C. Bohart, Rev. S. A. Morton conducting the ceremonial assisted by Rev. E. T. Beard. Interment was made in the City Cemetary.In Memoriam
BENNETT DICKSONDwight Bennett Dickson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Dickson, was born near Bentonville, Ark., June 12, 1889, and when a little under 34 years of age, from his home in Bentonville, he passed into the great beyond on June 6, 1923. When about 14 years old he accepted Christ as his Saviour, and united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. On October 12, 1912 he and Katherine McGill, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. McGill, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. To this union were born three children, Dwight Bennett, Lon Russell, and Marguerite McGill Dickson.
For a number of years previous to his death he was associated with his brother Russell in business, they two, having the agency in Bentonville of the Dodge Motor vehicles.
Bennett was a man among men. He won for himself a host of friends who hold him in high esteem. In one of the letters of condolence received by the family are these characteristic words: "In my observation of Bennett, he was always a real man, brother, father, and friend, and it is well at these times to look back on the unquestioned past of a man of Bennett’s character and fell happy and glad in the thought that living he was a man to envy." In another letter he is referred to as a man always kind, patient and obliging. Among the traits of his character worthy of especial mention and of emulation are his love for his mother and father, his tender solicitude for their comfort and happiness even to the last, and his love for his wife –his faithfull and true helpmate through life—and his precious little ones and his home.
Words cannot tell the weight of anguish that rests upon the hearts of his bereaved mother and father and those who so dearly loved him and shared with him the sweet sanctities of home. There are relatives and a host of friends who enter with them into this sorrow. And there is One whose mission it is to bind up the broken heart, to give beauty for ashers, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, who has said, "Who thou passeth through the waters, I will be with thee and through the rivers they shall not overflow thee." He will be as a husband to the widow and a father to the fatherless.
Funeral services were held in the home of his brother-in-law, S. E. Bohart on June 7th and the remains placed temporarily in the Bentonville mausoleum.
