Obituary, Natchez Democrat Newspaper, Thursday Morning, October 4, 1956.

Dr. Francis S. Dixon, one of Natchez most prominent physicians and beloved citizens, who died at 8 o'clock Wednesday morning, will be laid to rest today (Thursday) after services at 4 o'clock from the Trinity Episcopal Church. The Rev. Louis O'Vander Thomas will officiate. Dr. Dixon was born in Natchez on November 3, 1900, the son of the late J. Foggo and Janie Sharp Dixon. Early in life he decided that he wanted to become a doctor and after graduation from Natchez High School worked for many months as a teller at Britton and Koontz Bank here in order to obtain the money which would enable him to receive the education necessary for a medical career. He was later graduated from the University of Mississippi and the Tulane Medical School, where he received his MD degree. After leaving Tulane, he came to Natchez and set up a private practice. During this time he served as superintendent of Natchez Charity Hospital. Following this period, he went back into private practice and for many years served this area not only as a doctor of medicine and surgery but also as a civic leader, becoming endeared to the many types of people with whom he came associated with in life. Francis Dixon was considered one of the most beloved practitioners in Natchez after he had established himself. He treated many people who were poor; people from all walks of life: every class, every denomination and those with every creed. These people he treated as a physician, and all those who knew him as a friend and fellow citizen will deeply mourn his passing along with the members of his family. Dr. Dixon was a Fellow in the American College of Surgeons, a member of the American Medical Association, the Homochitto Valley Medical Society, a Shriner and belonged to many other organizations. He is survived by his widow, Virginia Butler Dixon; two brothers, Joseph F. Dixon and John F. Dixon; both of Natchez; three sisters, Mrs. Marion G. Stewart, Natchez; Mrs. Horace S. Roberts, Jackson and Mrs. H. Hamilton Calhoun of Baton Rouge. Pallbearers will be Greenberry Kelly, D. Y. Williams, Dr. J. L. Henderson, James A.
