Great and benevolent souls, like beautiful flowers, are not always found growing in sheltered and protected places; propagated and nurtured in hot beds of wealth; Highly developed by branches of human skill and placed in Emperor’s gardens or on Display in the spot-lights and show windows of the world for only a limited number of the more fortunate passerby to enjoy and admire. Far greater in number, an superior in hardiness and real beauty are those found scattered by the benevolent hand of a loving Creator in far away places; In the high hills, the valleys, the meadows and home places of common peoples, and even on the dry and arid deserts where they lighten the burden of the weary and unfortunate with their beauty and inspiration, and thus, truly do “the greater good.” Desolate indeed, would be the common places and thoroughfares if none of these were “blossoming” there.

True – only now and then – scarcely ever, is one of these discovered and brought to flourish in the show
places of the world where attention is centered upon it (let us not forget, however, that when such a one is discovered and brought in, more real and lasting beauty and good comes forth than from the hot-house variety usually), but to those closely associated and familiar with its real worth is known how priceless are it’s qualities, though its praises are never sung aloud to the world.

Such a soul there was that came to dwell far away in the beautiful Ozark hills. With close association
of nature, the guiding influence of the great Creator and eternal diligence and application, it grew into a
thing of beauty and good. This was the soul of one I am proud to call “MY DADDY.”

My father’s life has been none too easy. His schooling was meager because he must help in the fields.
From living close always to God and nature’s handiwork, however, and from close and diligent study of
the greatest book and educator of all – the Holy Bible – he is in possession of more real and useful
knowledge than most of Earth’s peoples will ever gain. I remember he once told me that if the Bible is
diligently studied it contains more, and the highest, education of all the book of learning put together;
that it is a complete education in itself.

This he has learned from practical experience. He is, and for long years has been an untiring student of
the great book. I can mentally see him now, always in the early morning hours when the mind is rested
and in refreshed condition to receive the word, as he sits and reads from the Bible and seems to ponder
and study on his reading. This is after having kindled the fire in the kitchen range and, when on the
farm, had fed his farm animals, milking done and chores completed, he is awaiting the preparation of
breakfast. Afterwards, I’m sure, he ponders much o’er the words he has read to arrive at the real truths
as he goes about his work through the day time. And never a meal, howe’er frugal does he fail to give
thanks to the Giver of all good things. Whene’er he has visited at our house we find ourselves pausing
at each meal time long thereafter, awaiting the familiar, beautiful and earnest words of thanksgiving,
and, I say, no matter how much knowledge of earthly things we master, it is still poor in comparison to
that he has earnestly striven to learn.

This faith and knowledge must have been the factors aiding his fine soul through the hardships of the years when his loving little help-mate was called to Heaven and left him with four small children, (two boys and two girls) the eldest only 13, to not only provide for, but to supplement as nearly as possible the love, protection and guidance of the mother as well. All this he accomplished so extraordinarily well, with ne’er a thought of any other personal pleasure, (which was very unlike just an ordinary soul of a man) that he gave these children the greatest heritage; that of clean and spiritual living in comfortable surroundings, where nature abounded, and instilled into their hearts kindness and understanding, for  which, each today is thankful I know.

He toiled diligently to provide for them all the schooling and training that was offered by the public schools. Also that his children might lack nothing to make good, intelligent citizens. How difficult and hard these tasks he performed with such seeming ease, kindness and cheerfulness only God and he can really know;
but it was a great manifestation to all about him, for oft’ I have heard them say “John Dixon is an exceptional man!” All esteemed him for his true worth, and none ever knew him as an enemy.

I’m sure his hardships would have been doubly sever, however, had it not been for the loving little soul
and helping hands of the little sister, who was only eleven when the mother went away. It is now, more than ever, a miracle to me how so young a child could have filled a mothers place so nearly completely in our hearts and home as she did;’ and I’m sure father must have thanked God many times for such a fine little soul and helper.

Ever and anon she busied herself about the household performing the huge tasks for one so young, with scarcely any time out for normal childhood play; yet accepting it as her duty, and without complaint. How she ever kept the home life running along so clean and smooth, with what help father could give when not in the fields and orchards, and attend school regularly, making good grades and yet find time for music lessons is now, still, a mystery to me.

All of us – (myself, brother and father) owe that little sister more than we can ever repay. The brothers,
too, worked in the fields with father and helped sister at times, in the house. And all were so kind and
good to me – the youngest – that my childhood is a happy memory, even though I lived it without actual
experience of my own mother’s love past the age of four.

We had to part one day in that long ago, with our younger brother and son. He went to join mother and
the baby brothers and sisters that had preceded him to that promised land, and each of us felt that by
his very nature and character, he would have held, some day, some important position, and win
acclaim. He made friends where’er he went until his early departure. It seemed he was a sunbeam lent,
not given, to guide our steps toward the gates of heaven.

And so, though it is only natural that I feel my sisters, brothers and parents were and are good in heart,
the opinions and actions of others toward them seem to tell me it is not all mere love of family that
dictates.

I have seen the same traits of soul-fineness in other of Dixon kinfolks. Only recently, did I have the
good fortune to become acquainted with another one of these that possesses those superior qualities I
know; he, his sweet wife, and two sons and families. Our first introduction through a letter from him
made it seem that I have known him always. He, too, is interested in our Dixon clan, and has the good
resolve, ambition and patience to accomplish the difficult task of writing up the Dixon genealogy; and
though I do not know what all he may have won acclaim for already; I feel deserves the heartfelt thanks
and praise of we Dixons for performing this arduous task of looking up our Family Tree, so to speak.
And so it seems that the Great Creator has sprinkled these great souls around, in lowly, as well as in
higher places and fashioned (mayhap unknown to them) for a task; that of radiating goodness and
fineness in various ways to help we lesser mortals along life’s byways.

As for me, (glad to be even an ordinary soul) I am glad anyway, to have inherited or been given that
desire to see people and living things treated well, and find it in my heart to love all living things and
think of each of them as always possessing some good if we can only see it. A young person once said the nicest thing I ever expect to hear said about myself. This was said in a very sincere manner to a friend of mine. “She’s like God, she likes every thing and every body.” I know I’m unworthy of such, but it was pleasing anyway.

I enjoy trying to paint or sketch or construct some little something (that usually amounts to nothing), but my greatest ambition and desire is that I may be permitted to live at least till my two fine sons shall have grown to be true, good men and respected citizens in the sight of both God and man. If they become as good as their father or their grandfather Dixon I shall have no cause for complaint.

And if I should live to be –
“The last leaf on our branch of family tree
 In the spring
 I’ll always love, as I do now,
That good ol’ truly fashioned bough –
 Where I cling!”

That the reader may have a clearer understanding of the kinship existing between the Dixons and the
Coopers we believe it to be appropriate before beginning with the genealogy to make an explanation as
to how the kinship comes about.

In an early day Zachariah Cooper came to America from England, he then being a young man. It is thought that he settled in Middle Tenn. married and reared a family of at least three sons and three daughters. The sons were: Allen, Paten, and William Monroe; the daughters were: Eliza, Polly and Lina.

Matthew Dixon also reared a family in Middle Tenn., consisting of, among others; Hilliard, Harry,
Caroline and Alice.
Hilliard Dixon married Eliza Cooper.
Harry Dixon married Polly Cooper.
Caroline Dixon married Allen Cooper.
Alice Dixon married Paten Cooper.
Lina Cooper married Bob Drumright, and their daughter, Eda, married Tom Dixon, while William Monroe
Cooper married (wife's name not known) and became the father of Jeff, James, Frank and Bob, many of
whose descendents are now living at and near Melbourne. With the above information each of my readers, if possible, may figure out his or her own relationship to any of the others.

  Zachariah Cooper was a schoolteacher, also a fiddler, bringing his fiddle with him from England. At   his death, the fiddle fell to the hands of Paten, then to his son, Jim. When Jim died his son Frank   took it. From there it went to Billy, and is now owned and in use by one of his sons, Norton, and  said to be as good as when new.

 A WORD TO THE AUTHOR AND HIS AID

I wish that somewhere in your book I might be permitted to express my deep appreciation and grateful
thanks to you for having, in you love for and kindness to, our clan, labored so diligently in preparing this
Family Record that we Dixons might know more of our lineage. When a high school girl I found the name of Matthew Dixon in the reference books one day and began wondering if he, perchance, could have belonged to the same family tree as I. This created desire to know something of my ancestors, which I have carried over from high school days. However, many other activities having crowded in, I somehow had never taken the time nor possessed the courage to begin the huge task of looking up our genealogy.

Only a short while ago, as if in answer to my desire, this very thing, this chance to learn of our lineage,
was suddenly tossed right into my lap, so to speak, by a letter from Owen Dixon, stating that he and wife, Ruth, were compiling a record of the Dixon clan and would I send in my family part? Gladly of course! Here was something I had desired but had never accomplished – being worked out and kindly offered me, at no profit whatever to the ones working to prepare the record, except the pleasure that such fine natures derive from doing kind things for others, no doubt. Not only that, but I was given a chance to pay some small tribute in the record to some of my loved ones.

Best of all, however, I’ve had the very good fortune of becoming acquainted with some of the finest members of our clan; some of the best Dixons of them all! I mean, of course, by having had the good fortune of knowing Owen and Ruth Dixon and some of their family. My family and I are deeply grateful to Owen and Ruth for these opportunities, and I’m sure that others of “We Dixons” feel the same way; that Owen and Ruth Dixon deserve more praise than we know how to express!

To Daddy and our Children
From “Mom”

 *** My Heaven ***

 When I leave Earth, dear God, and earthly form is only sod,
I would not asked for Heaven’s gold, nor silver harps that sing!
Only then, as now, let my children cling and play around me
 As I stand by the gate, watching and waiting.
If our Daddy is late.
 Let it be twilight – calm and sweet,
----------- And then ----------
Let our Daddy come by and kiss us
And come in.

Cousin Ivy:
We appreciate very much your sentiment expressed toward us
                                                                Owen and Ruth

We are grateful to The George Matthews Adams Service, New York, for permission to Mrs. Iva Turner,
Santa Ana, Calif. To have printed in our Family Record book the following poem; and, in a way
dedicated it to her “Daddy,” as it so fittingly portrays the life, as she knew it, of her father, John Dixon.

The above poem, also another on a separate page - “Old Fashioned Daddy,” by Nell Briggs Moretti,
Wellington, Kans, are here dedicated to John Dixon, by his daughter, Iva, who wants him to knows they
are her feelings toward Daddy. Knowing her as this writer does, am sure the love abounding in that family—one for the other – even after the mother was taken from them, was almost a Holy love, and might well be emulated by us who are still trudging on. Perhaps no one deserves praise for performing a duty, yet so many fall short of it we can hardly restrain from giving it. But if you MUST give applause don’t forget Bessie, as the little ten-year-old daughter who so ably filled her mother’s place in their home, helping “Carry on!” Surely she will wear Crowns in the hereafter!

In connection with these two poems let me call attention to my co-worker and co-author of this work -
Miss Frances Thompson, of Oxford, Ark. While she has chosen teaching as her profession, yet my
twelve months correspondence with her (I have never seen her) enables me to state positively that she
is a gifted writer as well. And from the many references to her late father - as well as my personal
acquaintance with him - it is well beyond doubt that he - Tom Thompson -was another “Humble Great” -
another “Old-Fashioned Daddy”.   May more of we Dixons emulate their examples!

A dog is one of man's most trusted and faithful servants; ever ready to obey commands and do his bidding. Even though they be illy abused and only half fed, yet are they gladly obedient to their master. (But George didn’t STARVE NORE ABUSE HIS DOGS.)

About the year 1870 Jim Dixon lived in the Ozark hills of South Missouri. He and his wife, Martha, went
on a visit to their home folks down- in Arkansas to their parents. They left George, then ten years old, to care for the stock and other things at home till their return, arranging for him to stay with his Uncle John and Aunt Mary Richardson, who lived about a mile from their place. So George, with his two dogs - Turk and Tige – went back and forth, morning and evening to do the necessary chores at home. It so happened that one evening the little boy was late in finishing his duties, and darkness came on before he reached his Uncle’s home. When a short ways from his destination a panther leaped upon him from the road side, bearing him down, ripping off much of his clothes, and inflicting deep scratches in his chest and arms, when his cries at once brought to him his dogs which were near by. Although dogs are somewhat wary of this species of cat, nevertheless they leaped onto the beast with such fury and vim that it was soon put to flight, thereby saving, doubtless, the life of their young and devoted master - though he carried the scars of thc conflict throughout his life. George kept “Turk and Tige” until they died of old age, burying them, one beside the other.    It is
said that he cared for those graves as long as he lived.

We herewith present to the Dixon Family the findings of our 17 months research in the tracing of our
forebears and their descendents. While the work is far short of a complete record, yet is, perhaps, as
nearly so as could have been accomplished in our allotted time, and without expenditure of money which was lacking.

Lack of cooperation was a great handicap. Quite a few – entirely too many – disregarded letters of
inquiry, owing, doubtless, to a lack of interest. However, in the main, our calls for family records and
sketches received prompt replies, and in some instances and offer to further aid. To all those who so
willingly gave assistance we are truly grateful.

Frequently letters stated – “Am shamed to say I know so little concerning my relatives, past and
present.” May we hope that the reading of this little book will give stimulus to a greater interest in our
family heritage.
Let me urge each who secures copies of this to use the opposite side of the page on which your record
is found for future births, marriages and deaths, to perpetuate your family record. The blank side is left
for this purpose. And if any connections are found, not herein named, enter them in your book. By this
method our Tree will continue growing.

As an explanation for attempting this compilation, need only to say that, while unfitted to properly
execute it, yet no other one seemed inclined to undertake the task – a real task, too, though a rather
delightful one – and we could easily see a necessity for it. There are many others of our family who
could have put out a far better work, but wouldn’t!  As our time and labor are gratis, you can easily overlook the many blunders and errors
