"GEN. CHRISTOPHER J. DICKERSON... married, in 1852, Miss Louisa A. Welch, and enjoyed twenty years of uninterrupted happiness during his married life. Shortly before his severe illness, Mrs. Dickerson with her son and daughter sailed for Europe, to spend two years in travel and study, where the general was to join them at the expiration of a year. When apprised of his illness they immediately retraced their steps, but the swift messenger of death had completed his work ere they reached their home. The only daughter, borne down by the weight of her sorrow, soon followed her father to the grave, and a year later Mrs. Dickerson died after a brief illness. One son survives, and is now residing in Hillsdale"
