Death of Mrs. Dawson

Cynthia Ann Poe, eldest daughter of Andrew Jackson Poe and Rachel Jane Meek Poe, was born in Bonaparte, Iowa, April 14, 1846, and departed this life September 25, 1931. The first ten years of her life were spent in Bonaparte, when with her parents she moved to Boone county and lived until 1865, when they moved to a farm near Anson, Mo., where she resided until her marriage to William Dawson, September 25, 1870. They resided on a farm near Anson until his death twenty-one years ago. She and her son, Frank, continued on the farm until October 1912. The last few years were spent with her daughters, Mrs. Ada Woods and Mrs. Sarah Thompson.

To this union were born nine children: Mrs. Ada Woods of Bonaparte, Mrs. Sarah Thompson, of Donnellson. Clyde and Mrs. Clara Roberson of Lepanto, Ark., Clarence of Marked Tree, Ark., Mrs. Emma Livingston of Pierre, S. Dak., Mrs. Marie Hickman, Bryant, S. Dak., Frank of Peoria, Ill.; and one daughter, Eva having preceded her to the Great Beyond.

She is survived by a number of grandchildren, three sisters and two brothers.

She was a member of the Congregational church, uniting with the church in the fall of 1884 and lived a faithful Christian life.

She was ever a loving mother, a good neighbor and friend.
---------------------
One less on earth-one more in heaven
There's a loved one lowly sleeping,
'Neath the cold and grassy sod.
Though we know that she is happy
For she has wandered home to God.
--------------------
Funeral Services were held from the church at Anson, Mo., Sunday afternoon, Rev. W. Russell Hunter, of Donnellson, officiating.

Deathdate shown as July 30, 1877 in Oct. 3, 2002 letter from Leota Aronson to Susie Dent.

No children were born to Sadie and Ira Thompson.

"Clarence Andrew Dawson arrived in Marked Tree, Arkansas by train at 7 a.m. on September 10, 1903. Virgie Lena Waskom Dawson arrived June 15, 1905."
"Before I write about Clarence and Virgie Dawson, I must write about what was going on in this area prior to their arrival on the scene.
"Mr. Ernest Ritter came to this area in 1886 to work for his uncle, Mr. Markhardt, who had charge of the Oliver Davis Mill, the first industry in this area (Marked Tree, Arkansas). There was nothing but wilderness here, with a few men--practically no women or children--hunting, fishing, clearing land and logging.
"In Nov. 1890, Mr. Ritter opened a mercantile business and in 1893 he was appointed postmaster and moved the post office into his store. Clarence's older brother, Clyde, was keeping books for Mr. Ritter and in 1903 became ill with typhoid fever. Needing help while Clyde was ill, Mr. Ritter sent for Clarence who had completed nine grades of school and a business course. He was 19 at the time having been born Aug. 1, 1884. He was born in Anson, Clark Co., MO, which is near the Iowa line. His parents were Wm. Nelson (Dawson) and Cynthia Ann Poe Dawson. He had a twin sister, Clara, four older sisters, Ada, Marie, Emma and Sarah and two brothers, Clyde who was older and Frank who was younger. His father was a half-brother of Mrs. Anna Ritter's mother.
"Clarence was made secretary-treasurer of E. Ritter & Co. when it was incorporated June 10, 1907, and worked for the company in that capacity until he was 85, a period of 65 years. He was secretary-treasurer of the Marked Tree Methodist Church from 1910-1970, keeping books, paying the bills, the whole lot.
"Virgie Lena Waskom arrived in Marked Tree from Sturgis, KY, with her widowed mother, Mary Lee Hazel Waskom, at age 14 having been born April 14, 1891. Her mother had four brothers who had settled here and they came here to be with them. They were Jack and Crockett Hazel, farmers, Marion Hazel, a lawyer, and Noah Hazel, Marked Tree's first public school principal and later cashier of the bank.
"Soon after Virgie arrived, she went to Harrisburg, the county seat and took the county teacher's examination and won a two year license to teach. She taught the first five grades when she was 15 and 16 and her uncle Noah Hazel, principal, taught the sixth, seventh and eigth grades. The school was a three-room frame structure located on Liberty Street at Locust.
"Clarence and Virgie were married in the Marked Tree Methodist Church on Dec. 12, 1909, and resided in a home that Clarence had built for them on Home Street at Central. They lived there until 1929 when they moved to a larger home at 301 Dawson Street which is the family homeplace today. To them were born seven children: Helen Gertrude Oct. 5, 1910; Clarence Alston, Aug. 14, 1912; Marion, Aug. 30, 1915; Frances, Jan. 8, 1917; Howard Waskom, April 25, 1922; Martha Virginia, Nov. 13, 1925; and Cynthia Ann, May 14, 1934.
"Clarence died of heart failure June 21, 1975, and Virgie died of heart failure June 13, 1984. They are buried in Marked Tree Cemetery on the family plot." Submitted by Marion Dawson.

Widower. Wife apparently died when kids were little. Brother Hugh and his wife Lyda moved in with Clarence and Lyda took care of the 4 girls. Lyda once told the kids they may be sent to live elsewhere. Looks like she may not have been too nice to them. She said Opal could find a place because she was old enough to work, Mary could find one because she was cute, Marjorie one because she was a baby, but Ella couldn't because she was not cute and was too young.
