Dixon in telling about it not long
i
ago. "There wasn't any Missouri
weather fiat could stop me, either,
heat or cold. rain or snow. I've waded
in mud literally up to my knees
to get some rare old piece oi lurniture
with a history, or a quaint old clock.
“This bed." she added, touching
lovklgiy a handsome cherry tour-
postsr. "I fished out of a cow barn
not tar away where it had been stuck
away tor years and years. It took
two weeks of scraping and work to
remove the dirt accumulated in that
time. But wasn't it worth it? There
are a lot of things. Mrs. Dixon kept
a chronicle or any interesting histor-
ical racts concerning what she added
to the taverns collection so she is
able to tell the snot story 01 virtually
everything undei‘ its root. In the
meantime, she organised a Chapter or
the Daughters oi the American Revo-
lution at Arrow Rock and this brought
the loan of many more relics from
members. These things Mrs. Dixon
labeled and gathered together tor the
most part in the old tap room of the
tavern which she thro'w open to the
townspeople and public for a com-
munity meeting place. This helped
spread interest in the old place, and
its history.
Finds Her Happiness
Best of all, however. in the two or
three years Mrs. Dixon toiled over
the taern. peacev gradually came to
her and in the absorption in her work
her troubles receded more and more
into the background and her health
slowly returned. As for the romance
back of it all, it is represented very
properly in the person of Lester Dix-
on ot Arrow Rock. descendent of a
long line of worthy Missouri pioneers
whose courage helped hew. nrst Ar-
row Rock and then state civilisation
out of a Missouri wilderness, and who
came into her life while she toiled to
preserve it all. He brought with him
the return at happiness for Mrs. Dixon
and compensation for all she had on-
dured in the past and when they
were married in Arrow Rock and took
up their life in the romantic old tav-
ern there was little doubt about their
bring happy forever after.
Mrs. Dixon has written considerably
under the name of Susan Hale. and is
an organising regent oi the Daughters
of the American Revolution.
