Bio
Hosey was the youngest child and 7th son of John Anderson and Susan Frances "Fannie" (Russell) Dawson. Just as Hosey was about to turn 13, his father died of a heart attack. His mother moved her family of teenage boys to western Oklahoma where they lived with her eldest son, Robert and his family. Then just 3 years later, when Hosey was barely 16, his mother also passed away. For a time, Hosey lived with his Uncle Alda "Aldy" and Aunt Katy Russell in Durant, Oklahoma, but was soon out on his own. Eventually Hosey moved back to Washita County, Oklahoma. While visiting in his brother Robert's home, he met a pretty neighbor girl, Lorene Harbin, who was to become his true love and life's partner. They married April 30, 1932 in Arapaho, Oklahoma, and raised six children. They lived most of their adult lives in Washita Co. where Hosey farmed in the Dill City, Cloud Chief, Lake Valley, Burns Flat and Foss communities and Lorene kept the home and nurtured the children. As a young couple during the depression era, they had next to nothing by way of material possessions but were rich in love and devotion and had a happy family. Hosey was baptized into Christ as a young adult by his brother-in-law, Albert Leroy "A.L." Harbin, who was a Minister of the Gospel in the Church of Christ. Hosey was preceded in death by a son, Olin Gary Dawson, who died Feb. 1, 1964 and is buried just to the west of Hosey. Hosey's brother John Robert Dawson and several other relatives are also buried in Lawnview. His beloved wife was laid to rest beside him in February of 2006. My daddy was a gentle, loving, sincere, funny, quiet, intelligent, humble, hard working man. He loved his family dearly and worked for us and worried over us every day. When Gary died much too young, it devastated our parents. I believe that emotional trauma interfered with Daddy's immune system, allowing cancer cells to invade and grow. He died 4 years later of lung cancer. He was a devoted husband and a wonderful father and we still miss him. We look forward to being with our parents again in Heaven where we can spend eternity together and worship our Lord. We and the angels will rejoice when we are all reunited again.
