Nebraska, The Land and the People, (1931) Vol. 3, p 259f: Charles Thaddeus Dickinson is one of the veteran and distinguished members of the Nebraska bar, initiated the practice of law in this state somewhat more than forty years ago, and in his character and achievement he has dignified and honored his profession and also the state and city of his adoption. He served eight years on the bench of the District Court of the Fourth Judicial District of Nebraska, and since his retirement from his office he has been continuously engaged in the practice of his profession in Omaha, where he has maintained his residence since 1903. Judge Dickinson was an ambitious and well fortified young lawyer when he adopted Nebraska as the state of his activities, and here he has won success and prestige in his profession and high standing as a loyal and public-spirited citlzen with inviolable place in popular confidence and esteem.
Judge Dickinson reverts to the old Buckeye State as the place of his nativity, his birth having occurred on a farm near New Richmond, Clermont County, Ohio, November 8, 1854. He is a son of the late David W. and Phoebe R. (Hanns) Dickinson, both natives of Steuben County, New York, where for former was born January 1, 1800, and the latter May 13, 1813. David W. Dickinson died in 1868, at New Richmond, Ohio, and his widow survived him more than twenty years, her death having occurred May 11, 1890, and her funeral service having been conducted two days later, on the seventy-seventh anniversary of her birth. Of the nine children the first was a son, the next seven were daughters, and then was born the youngest of the number, Charles Thaddeus, who is the immediate subject of this review. The only other surviving child is Miss Sarah J. Dickinson, who still maintains her home at New Richmond, Ohio.
David W. Dickinson gave virtually his entire active career to farm industry, and he was [p.259] sixty-eight years of age at the time of his death, he having been a boy of eight years at the time the family moved from Steuben County, New York, in 1808, and became pioneer settlers of Clermont County, Ohio, where his father, David W. Dickinson, reclaimed from the forest wilds a productive farm, it having been on this ancestral farmstead that Judge Dickinson, of this review, was born.
The boyhood and carly youth of Judge Dickinson were passed on the old homestead farm upon which his paternal grandfather thus made settlement in the year 1808, and after profiting by the advantages of the rural schools of the district he continued his studies in the high school at New Richmond, from which he was duly graduated. In May, 1875, he was graduated from the Cincinnati Law School in the city of Cincinnati, and he thus received his degree of Bachelor of Laws about six months prior to attaining to his legal majority, so that he deferred entering upon the practice of his profession until these few months had passed and he had reached his majority, a prerequisite to his admission to the bar of his native state. He then engaged in the practice of law at New Richmond, Ohio, where he remained until 1884, when he came to Nebraska and became one of the pioneer members of the bar of Tekamah, the judicial center of Burt County. There he developed a substantial and representative law practice to which he continued to give his attention until the autumn of 1895, when he was elected judge of the court of the Fourth Judicial District of the state, to the bench of which he was reelected in 1900, so that his service covered two terms of four years each. In 1903, shortly prior to the expiration of his second term, he removed with his family to Omaha, where he has since continued in the active practice of his profession in an individual way, save for the interval of his service as prosecuting attorney for the city. The Judge is one of the honored members of the Omaha Bar Association, the Nebraska State Bar Association and the Omaha Chamber of Commerce. He is affiliated with the Masonic fraternity, his political allegiance is given to the Republican party, and he and his wife hold membership in the Christian Science Church.
The career of Judge Dickinson in offices of public trust has been one of exceptional order and marked distinction. He was but twenty-two years of age when he was elected mayor of New Richmond, Ohio, and after his removal to Nebraska he was for two terms mayor of the vital little city of Tekamah. There he served two terms as judge of the County Court and one term as prosecuting attorney of the county prior to his election to the bench of the District Court. In the practice of law at Tekamah he maintained partnership alliance with Hon. M. R. Hopewell, whom he succeeded on the bench of the District Court, Judge Hopewell having later served as lieutenant governor of Nebraska.
On the 22d of March, 1875, at New Richmond, Ohio, was solemnized the marriage of Judge Dickinson and Miss Laura B. McClelland, and on March 22, 1925, they had the privilege of celebrating their golden wedding anniversary. Of their eight children only two are living: David W., of Omaha, and Emma, the wife of Samuel J. Weekes, of O'Neill, Holt County, this state, where Mr. Weekes is president of the O'Neill National Bank. David W. Dickinson, the only surviving son, resides in Omaha and is in the secret-service of the treasury department of the United States government. He married Miss Nennie M. Carleton and they had one son, Lawrence C., who is a lad of sixteen years at the time of this writing, in the winter of 1925-26. His wife died when this child was two years of age.
The first American representatives of the Dickinson family were three brothers, David W., Charles and Daniel, who came from England, and David W. was the great-grandfather of Judge Dickinson of this review, who received his first personal name in honor of Charles Dickinson, brother of David W., the great-grandfather of the Judge.
