Robert
W. Dyckman Dies
After Illness of Over Year
Morris, Dec. 22---Robert W. Dyckman, proprietor of
the Morris inn for the past eight years, died at his home on Main
street early Thursday morning from the effects of a shock, which he
suffered last week. He had been an invalid for over a year.
Robert Willard Dyckman, one of the nine children of
Law and Janette (Nichols) Dyckman, was born December 19, 1886, in
North Harpersfield, where he spent his boyhood.
As a young man he became interested in the management
of restaurants and during his life successfully conducted several in
Ballston Spa, Oneonta and Sidney, before purchasing the Morris inn.
Mr. Dyckman was united in marriage March 27, 1921,
with Miss Hazel Mead of Gilbertsville, who survives him and who has
faithfully cared for him during his long illness. To them was born
one son, Robert, Jr., now 12 years of age.
The deceased was a member of the Jefferson Masonic
lodge, of Leila chapter,
O. E. S., in Jefferson, and also of the Elks lodge in
Norwich. He was a genial man and with a markedly keen sense of
humor. He made many friends, among whom he will be greatly missed.
Immediate surviving relatives are the widow and son;
two sisters, Mrs. Lois Bassage of Rochester and Mrs. Elnora Simmons
of Oneonta; also several nephews and nieces, to whom much sympathy
will be extended
The funeral services, conducted by Rev. Dr. C. E.
Vermilya of the Methodist church, were held at the home Sunday
afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment was in the new part of Hillington
cemetery.
Addendum: I estimate his year of death as 1935 since his son was born in 1923 and he was 12 when his father died.
