Notes for Calvin Harris Dickson:
Calvin Harris Dickson suffered from Chronic Asthma. I believe it was in 1909 that his Doctor advised him to move West for better air. He Followed his Doctor's advice and moved his Family west all excepts Cordiie and Loan Hillard. When he reached White County Arkansas, he said he obeyed his Doctor's advice to go West, but White County Arkansas was
as far West as he was going. He died in February 13, 1918, and is Buried in Sidon Cemetery, Sidon Arkansas.

Notes for Susan Bell Graham:
Susan Bell Graham was also called Sussie Graham.
She owned an old fashioned trunk, which she guarded with zeal that was surprising. She has been known to take a switch to her own grown kids just as quickly as to her grand kids for setting on it. When she was eighty-four years old her house burned and she lost everything. After she lost her house she moved in with her youngest daughter and lingered for about three years before dying. She is burial beside Calvin H. Dickson at Sidon Cemetery in Sidon Arkansas. A lot of Speculation was made that losing that trunk took her will to live away. Who knows what treasure the trunk contained, but we all wished we knew?
