Dixon Bible], had a narrow escape from death as a child [told in H.R. Thomas manuscript]: One day John Hamilton and some older boys went swimming (I would guess in the old Dixon Mill dam). John Hamilton was the first to get his clothes off and dive in. When he did not surface, the older boys knew something was wrong. They dived in and searched for him. One of the older boys found John Hamilton lodged under a rock or log. The boys brought him out on the bank and laid him down. He looked like he was dead. One of the older boys suggested they hold John Hamilton up by the legs with his head down to see if they could get the water to run out of his mouth. John Hamilton started breathing and coughing with every breath. He regained consciousness and became all right. John Hamilton married (1) Tennie Boone ca.1880, had two children (Elsie, Jessie); she was deceased by 1886, according to a court case then; in Cochran Cemetery, there is a tombstone which reads ‘Margaret T. Dixon, wife of John H., Feb 8 1858-Aug 16 1883’, there is also a child's grave reading ‘Daniel Dixon July 3 1883 (3 weeks old) child of John H and MT Dixon;’ Margaret T. must have died of childbirth complications; ...
