Notes:

In the November, 1994 issue of the SAN AUGUSTINE TRIBUNE, the following memorial to Marvin Dickerson was published:

In Loving Memory of Marvin Dickerson November 7, 1934 - August 22, 1990

Don't Grieve For Him Now He Is Free From Sickness & Pain On This Earth You See. He Could Not Stay With Us Another Day To Laugh, To Love, To Work or Play. Things Left Undone Had To Stay That Way He Found Peace At Close Of The Day. If His Parting Has Left You With A Void Then Fill It With Remembered Joy. Perhaps His Time Seemed All Too Brief, But Don't Lenghthen It Now With Undue Grief.

By His Family Barbara, Kay, Fay Joe & Lisa
