    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: SHEPHERD; GREEN; DICKERSON: JONES Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ea.2ADI/735.1.1.1.2.3.1.1 Message Board Post: I found a _Macon Telegraph_ 24 Sep 1913 obit for my James E. DICKERSON at the Washington Memorial Library. The cemetery at that time was referred to as Ft. Hill: "J. E. Dickerson Following an illness of several weeks, J.E. Dickerson, 58 years of age, died yesterday morning at 8 o'clock at his home on First Street. Besides his widow, he is survived by four daughters: Misses Annie, Nora, Lillie, and Mabel Dickerson: and three sons: Guy and Charles Dickerson, of Macon, and Luther Dickerson, of Lavonia. The funeral will be held this morning at 9:30 o'clock from the late residence on First street. Rev. Herman C. Jones, paster of First Street Methodist Church, officiating. Interment will follow at Fort Hill Cemetery." Have you checked for obits both in the city where they lived and the place where they were raised; Macon directories; church records?
