MR. CHARLES DIXON
(Special to the "Evening Post.") MASTERTON, This Day. The death occurred in Masterton last night of Mr. Charles Dixon, a member of one of the first pioneer families to settle in Masterton. His passing will be deeply regretted by.a large number of friends in all parts of the district and elsewhere. The late Mr. Dixon, who was born at Karori in 1847, came to Masterton 81 years ago. Until about a month ago he was still a familiar figure in town but latterly his health showed increasing signs of failing and a week ago he was admitted to the Masterton Hospital. Mr. Dixon was the last surviving member of the family of the late Mr. Charles Dixon, a pioneer settler of the district and was believed to have been longer a resident of Masterton than any other surviving settler of the early days. Mr. and Mrs. Dixon celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary on October 30 last.
Mr. Dixon is survived by a widow (a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Herbert, of Herbertville), five daughters, three sons, 16 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren, to whom the sympathy of a wide circle of friends will be extended in their loss.
