Horace M. is buried in Clover Hill Cemetery, as is his wife Martha L. "Mattie" Reeder Dickson.
Horace M. Dickson, born March 15, 1846 in Franklin County, Alabama, died October 9, 1903 Lott, Falls, Texas.

I believe Mattie Dickson was active in getting the Clover Hill Cemetery started. The cemetery was not quite as full back then as it is now. I commend the people who are in charge of its upkeep. Clover Hill is a beautiful cemetery. I am always interested in sharing information with others about the Dickson, Hamilton and related families.
