Adie [Addie] Bell DICKEY - 1861-1915
(Top of obituary faded out.)
She had lived in Glasgow practically all her life but left a few years ago to make her home in Lexington with her sons. She was the daughter of the late J. M. Boles, who came to this county from Cumberland many years ago. Also, she was a niece of the late Judge Boles, one of the most noted lawyers ever associated in the Glasgow bar and in Southern Kentucky. She was prominently connected with some of the oldest and best known families in the county, and her father was at one time sheriff of this county. As Miss Addie Belle Boles she married Mr. W. A. McQuown, and to them were born four sons. The second time, she was married to Mr. Haiden T. Dickey, one of the most popular and best known men and grocery merchants that ever lived. Mr. Dickey died a few years ago and since that time she had been living in Lexington with her sons.
There never lived a more devoted and loyal mother; her whole life and affections were centered on her children and she was faithful to them unto the end. Kind, compassionate, and charitable she relieved the sufferings of many with her deeds of kindness and she was ever willing to respond to the wants of the lowliest and the humblest, even though she deprived herself of the worldly comforts. Through her years of trouble and distress, she was ever mindful of her children and so were they always thoughtful and considerate of their mother. She was always interested in church affairs and always strived to live a good Christian life. Hers was a strong character and she possessed many excellent and noble traits of a splendid woman and ideal mother. She was a member of the Christian Church.
She is survived by her four sons: Messrs. Elim, Owen, Murray and Jim, all of Lexington. Also one sister and two brothers mourn her loss: Mrs. Lizzie Botts, of Louisville, and Judge John H. Boles, and Mr. Sam Boles, both of this place. The grief stricken family and sorrowing sons have the deepest sympathy of the entire community in the loss of their dear mother and best friend.
"The remains were brought here Sunday and interred in the cemetery at this place, after short funeral services at the grave by Elder W. K. Clements."
