Dickerson.-Electra Wall was born in Pike Co., Ohio, Nov. 15, 1854; died at the home of her granddaughter (Maude Buckingham-Mrs. John Douglas), Culp, Ark., Mar. 2, 1949; aged 94 y. 3 m. 17 d. In 1884 she moved from Ohio to the Reeds Grove community, Baxter Co., Ark., and about ten years later to the Buffalo community, where she spent the remainder of her active life. Her husband (M. R. Dickerson) preceded her in death twenty-eight years ago, and her only child (Oda M. Clay) twenty years ago. Surviving are 6 grandchildren and many other more-distant relatives and friends. As one of the pioneering souls of Baxter Co., she is said to have been a hard worker and to have had a hard life; yet she received much enjoyment by spending her life in service for others. She took a personal interest in many needy and orphan children, bringing a number of them into her home and caring for them. As community doctor and nurse, especially as midwife, her services were much in demand. (Perhaps it was largely from her that her granddaughter, Maude, received her vision for service.) Her health and vigor lasted long: at the age of seventy-five she prepared her own garden with a mule and walking plow; and when it was necessary for someone else to care for her, she continued to be active in doing small chores. But the last two years she was almost blind, and the time began to grow long for her. She expressed a desire to go and be with her Lord. By religious affiliation she was a member of the Southern Methodist Church. Funeral services were held in the Mountain View Mennonite Church, which stands on a plot of ground that was once part of her farm near Buffalo. Frank Horst and Clarence Horst were in charge of the services. Text: I Cor. 15:44. Burial was made in a near-by cemetery.

He served as a minister according to his ability, during a great part of the remainder of his life. His main interest in the church was in bringing the Gospel to all people, rather than in taking part in local church issues. The later years of his life were spent in retirement at his late home at Kidron, Ohio, farming having been his chosen vocation. Surviving are 6 children (Mrs. Noah C.

As a young man he was baptized and received into the Mennonite Church in Ontario.
