John H. Dixson was born in Preble County, Ohio, March 10, 1820, and is the only survivor of eleven children, born to Eli and Rebecca (Hart) Dixson. When but six months old, his parents removed with him to what is now Greene County, Ind., where they encountered all the hardships and privations incident to pioneer life, and where John H. was reared, educated and has always resided. Eli Dixson became widely known as the owner of some of the best horses in the State, and he was never more at home than on the back of one of his racers with a pack of hounds following up the trail of some bear or fox. He and wife made many friends, and after living as honored and respective people to old ages, they died in the religious belief of the Quakers. John H. Dixson received his early schooling from the old fashioned log schoolhouse where "lickin' and larnin' " were deemed as essential for the advancement of the pupil as " larnin' " without the " lickin' ." To start on, his father gave him eighty acres of unimproved land, and this he has since increased to over 800 acres by hard work and good management. This is situated in White River bottom, and consists of the best soil of Greene County. In December, 1840, John H. Dixson and Elizabeth Stalcup were united in marriage, and to this union the following named were born: Rebecca, Margaret, Solomon, James (deceased), William; Stephen and Polly (deceased). The mother died in August, 1860, and in April, 1877, Mr. Dixson married Mrs. Electa (Beach) Hoagland, his present wife. Mr. Dixson is one of the whole-souled, genial and hospitable men of his township. Like his father before him, he is a great admirer of horse flesh, and be it also said that he also keeps the best horses in his locality. He is now on the shady side of life, and is nearing the alloted period of man's existence, which is hoped by his numerous friends, that he will greatly outlive. In politics, he was first a Whig, but since 1856 has cast his influence and support with the Republican party. Although a member of no religions organization, he is inclined to the faith of his parents?Friends--in which sobriety, peace and industry are the chief factors.
