General Notes: Husband - Robert Dickey

---

He grew to manhood in Ireland, and there learned the trade of a copper and tinsmith. In May, 1830, he immigrated to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He resided there until the spring of 1845, when he came to Greenville, Mercer County, and established a tinware and stove store. In 1859 he gave up that business and purchased a part of the old Loutzenhiser farm, northeast of Greenville, and resided there till the spring of 1888, when he removed into the borough. Mr. Dickey became a member of his father's congregation in Ireland, and when he settled in Pittsburgh he united with the Associate Presbyterian Church of that city. He kept up his membership in that body until its amal-gamation, in 1858, with the Associate Reformed, after which he continued a leading member of the United Presbyterian Church of Greenville. In 1838 he was elected an elder of the Allegheny Church, and for over fifty years filled that office. He was first a Whig and then a Republican; was burgess of Greenville in 1858, and also filled the office of school director. [HMC 1888, 784]
He and his wife were the parents of eleven children.
