At Council Buffs, Iowa, Sept. 17, of typhoid fever, Albert Newell Dickerson, formerly of Henry, aged 36.

The telegraph brought the news of Friday of the death of Albert N. Dickinson by typhoid fever at Council Bluffs, Iowa. He had been sick for several days, but had recovered sufficiently to ride out to the store the early part of the week. This induced a relapse and on Tuesday of last week word was received by the friends in this city of his being dangerously ill. Thursday his brother Chauncy where was summoned, and who arrived at the bedside of the sick man to find him still alive, but past recovery. The remains were taken to Cincinnatus, Courtland county, N.Y. for interment, his birthplace, and deposited in the family cemetery.

Mr. Dickinson had lived in Henry since 1857, commencing here in the boot and shoe trade, occupying one-half of John Barnard’s store. From this small beginning, coupled with getting a considerable knowledge of the dry goods business while with Mr. Barnard, he entered the mercantile business for himself, in 1861, and was very successful, amassing a considerable competence. At one time he owned the store now occupied by J. L. Jones, also several residences, and his business courtesy and accommodation to his customers, not only made his store a favorite resort, but have him and large and extended acquaintance, and an extensive trade.

Two years ago he disposed of his store here and in the winter of 1868 moved to Chicago. Spent some time there, and recently moved to Council Bluffs, where he returned to the dry goods trade, a business for which he had affection and talent. He had a partner named Smith, and had opened a store under favorable auspices. He was boarding with his family when the scourge overtook him, and bore him, in the prime of manhood, beyond earth and its cars.
