Mrs. Katherine CLARK DIXON died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Van. G. TAYLOR, 
in Everetts last Friday afternoon at 1:00 o'clock. Eighty years old, Mrs. DIXON 
had been in declining health for some time and her condition had been critical 
for several months. The daughter of the late Henry David and Lona SMITH CLARK, 
she was born in beaufort County on February 22, 1868, and spent her early life 
there. In early womanhood she was married to Edward L. DIXON and located in Pitt 
County where she lived until twenty six years ago when she came to Martin to 
make her home with her daughter, Mrs. TAYLOR, and Mr. TAYLOR in Everetts. She 
was a member of the Baptist church for many years, her daily life exemplifying 
its teachings and principles firmly yet tenderly. She was held in high esteem 
in her native and adopted communities, and although infirmities of age limited 
her activities in later years she continued interested in all that was good and 
noble. Surviving besides her daughter with whom she made her home are five sons, 
Edward S. DIXON of Everetts, Robert DIXON of Willard, Henry DIXON of High Point, 
and Jack DIXON of Williamston; four sisters, mrs. Nancy BOYD of Washington, Mrs. 
Rachel BUCK, Mrs. Henrietta MCGOWAN and Mrs. Julia PORTER, all of Greenville; 
two half–sisters, Mrs. Janie SMITH of Ayden and Miss Sarah CLARK of Washington; 
two brothers, Wright CLARK of Vanceboro and Fred CLARK of Chocowinity; and a 
half–brother, Richard CLARK of Ayden. Funeral services were conducted in the 
Everetts Baptist Church Saturday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock by her pastor, Rev. 
E. R. STEWART. Interment was in Woodlawn Cemetery in Williamston.
