Celebrates 94th Birthday Thursday

By Mike Thoele “I really can’t tell you how good I feel because there isn't anybody around to tell you how you’re supposed to feel when you're 94 " With these young - at - heart words Mrs. Sarah Dixson aptly summarized her health and spirit", as she celebrated her ninetyfourth birthday Thursday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Katharyne Nelson of Decatur. Mrs. Dixson, spry and conversational despite her years, was born September 24, 1870 In Cridersville, O. Her father was a farmer and she can recall making the daily mile and a quarter walk from their home to the oneroom school which she, her seven brothers and two sisters attended, She attended school until she was 19, then worked for a while in the woolen mills at St. Marys and in Toledo. On September 25, 1906, she married George W. Dixson, a blacksmith for the old Interurban rail system, and came to Decatur to live. At that time, she recalls, most of Decatur’s streets were unpav- w ed. The Dixson home, on thn southeast corner of Indiana and Seventh, was on a mud street. Her husband died in 1931 and she lived in the home on Indiana street until 1942, when she moved to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Nelson. Pu»le Fan At 94, her eyesight is still good. She is a crossword puzzle fan and her years of working them have given her a remarkable vocabulary. She reads frequently, primarily the Bible and newspar,crs. Her hearing, however, has failed slightly. This, she says, is a result of being exposed to the terrific din of the old woolen mill.',. Otherwise, she is in'good health. Though she would not disclose her political convictions, she plans to vote this fall. She said that she has missed few elections since women were given the to vote in the early twenties. She has no secrets or explana-Beme-Geneva Livestock Report Prices paid Sept. 22 Top veals -g..-.- 34.50 Top lambs 22.60 Top steers and heifers 23 00 Top bulls 18.20 Goal cows .. 14.00-15.60 Cannery and cutters.. 11.00-14.00 Top h0g517.20 Top 50w514.25 Male hogs . 12.50-1350
