      DODSON, Gibson – When the spirit of Uncle Gibson Dodson left its earthly home Sunday evening at 7:45 o'clock, Springdale lost one of the best men who was ever pleased to call this town his home.

      Deceased had been ill for some six years with rheumatic trouble, a disease which was gradually wearing him away. Several days ago he was taken with an attack of the grip but was recovering from this and on Friday was able to be up and go to the table for his meals. A relapse of this disease came on, however, and this with this other ailment, his weak constitution could not resist.

      Funeral services were held at the M.E. Church, South Monday afternoon, conducted by Rev. J.P. McDonald, pastor of the church, and the remains were interred in Bluff Cemetery.

      Gibson Dodson was born in Warren County, Tennessee October 22, 1839. In Lawrence County, this state, in 1865 he was united in marriage to Mary Wasson who, together with their only children. Dr. C.G. Dodson and Mrs. Jennie Nickerson, survive him. He is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Lucy McLeod, who resides in Benton County. In 1867

      Mr. Dodson removed to Benton County where he resided until 1879 when the family came to Springdale which has since been their home.

      Deceased was for four years a soldier in the Southern army, being a member of Co. G., 22nd Arkansas Infantry.

      For eighteen years he had been a member of the M.E. Church, South and was a member of the K. of P.

      Soon after coming to Springdale Mr. Dodson engaged in the mercantile business in which he contuned until a few years ago when failing health forced him to give up active work. No man stood higher in the estimation of the people who knew him than Uncle Gibson Dodson.
      From an intimate acquaintance with him, dating back to the boyhood days of the writer, we learned to admire and respect him.

      During all those years we never heard him utter a profane word or speak unkindly of any one, and he was honored and esteemed as true man in all that the term implies. As a mark of respect to the deceased the business houses of the town were closed during the funeral services yesterday afternoon. [2]
