Dishon, James A.

 

James A. Dishon, an old pioneer of this section of Perry County, finished his earthly labors and passed on to eternal life at his home in McCuneville, Friday morning, January 27, 1923. The deceased was the eldest son of John and Mary (Skinner) Dishon.  He was born on what is known as the Dishon Farm near McCuneville, on May 2, 1840 being at the time of his death aged 82 years, 8 months, and 25 days.  The farm on which he was born and grew to manhood, was obtained direct from the government by his ancestors.  His whole life was spent in the immediate vicinity of the old homestead, which was owned by him at the time of passing away. Mr. Dishon’s ancestors on his father’s side were of French and German origin, his grandfather Dishon being a native of France and his grandmother whose maiden name was Catherine Kessler, was a native of Germany.  When they came to this country they located in Bedford Pa., from whence they came to this vicinity early in the 18th [19th] century. The departed, in his early youth, worked on a farm there being no public works in this part of the state at that time.  On July 4, 1872 he opened a general store in McCuneville, and conducted a successful business for nearly half a century, when, on account of advanced age and impaired health he was obliged to turn the place over to his son, Frank, and seek much needed rest. Mr. Dishon was not only active in business, but also in all affairs that tended to advance the welfare of this community.  He served three terms as Trustee of Saltlick Township, and filled that office during the ever memorial Hocking Valley strike in 1884-85.  He was postmaster and B & O railroad agent at McCuneville for a long term of years.  Back in the times when it required courage to be affiliated with a labor organization, he was an active member of old Unity Assembly No. 169, Knights of Labor and was among the first to subscribe stock in the Knights of Labor Company which built what is now the K. of P. Opera House in Shawnee. James A. Dishon was united in marriage to Lydia A. Strawn on March 14, 1875 and to them were born, three sons and three daughters being Frank, John and George, Mrs. L. W. Kennedy, Mrs. Charles Heidlebaugh and Miss Minnie Dishon.  His wife and six children survive him.  He is also survived by four sisters, Mrs. Kate Weaver of Columbus, Ohio, Mrs. Bell Nicola of Lancaster, Ohio, Miss Lizzie Dishon of Galloway, Ohio, Mrs. Maggie Harpst of Circleville, Ohio and a large circle of other near relatives and warm friends. On February 15, 1898, Mr. Dishon was admitted to the fellowship in the Church of God, at McCuneville  and during the remainder of his life served his lord and Master in that faith – a faith that abided with him unto the end. With him the book of life, with a record of more than four score years is closed.  A long, beautiful and useful life is ended.  A splendid type of citizen, a good endearing husband, a loving and indulgent father, a warm hearted and faithful friend, whose many virtues are worthy of emulation, has bid adieu to the joys and sorrows of this world and gone out into the shoreless realm of eternal bliss. To have known Jim Dishon was to admire and love him for his many sterling qualities of head and heart; for his thoughtful consideration of others.  His long life was an unbroken record of kindly deeds, and now that he has passed on to enter into the joys of eternal life, he has left to his family and friends, as a priceless legacy, the memory and undying influence of a beautiful life, well spent, as an example to those who follow him. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. Phelps, assisted by Rev. Hamrick, were held in the M. E. Church in McCuneville Monday afternoon and interment was made in New Lexington
