Amarillo Daily News, Page 6-A, Tuesday, November 5, 1985. ********************************************************** Poem written by Larry Hogan, Clyde's grandson. Grandpa was a man no one could despise. He was a little old but, very, very wise. I never knew him all that well. I sat a few short minutes and heard stories he would tell. On his small farm we would walk through the sand. Grandpa would hold my hand. One day not so long ago, Grandpa died and went to heaven I know. You ask me how I could know a thing such as this He became my guardian angel whose presence I'll never miss. Some days when I'm tired and the sun is really warm. I feel him push and say hard work won't do your body harm. At times when I feel down and don't know what to o He'll tell me "Do your best and no-one can look down on you." Although he no longer walks with me in the sand. Grandpa still holds my hand. *********************************************************** General Notes *********************************************************** Clyde Albert Dickey was born September 30, 1906 in a half dugout in Rankin, Roger Mills, Oklahoma to Richard Amon Dickey and Sharlottie "Lottie" Faye Longcor "Lonecar". Clyde's parents came to Oklahoma when the territory of Oklahoma was opened up for homesteading in 1903. For a short time the family stayed in Durham, Oklahoma and then moved to their homestead in Rankin. Clyde grew up in the Rankin/Reydon community where he learned to farm the land with his father and hunt and fish along the banks of the Washita River. For a short time, he moved to Dempsey, Oklahoma where he stayed with his brother Leston and his wife Mary Frankford. While staying there, Clyde's future wife Mable moved to town with her parents. Though Clyde and Mable's courtship started off rough, eventually, Clyde and Mable did eventually marry, and then moved to Leston and Mary's home in Dempsey, when the moved off to California. It was while staying in this home, that Clyde and Mable's first son Richard would be born. Later they moved a little North of Reydon, where Clyde's family was from, and lived in a half dugout along the banks of the Washita River where their daugher, Mary Jo was born. Clyde and Mable packed all of their possessions and moved to California where Clyde's brother Leston lived and while their they had two more children, Phyllis and Anthony. After a short time, Clyde and Mable decided to head home back towards Oklahoma, but along the way, bought property in Mobeetie, where Clyde and Mable remained until 1975 when they sold their farm to move to Dumas. It was while living in Mobeetie, that the remainder of their children, Nelda, Linda, Terry, and Sharlottie were born. In October 1971, Clyde and Mable and their family suffered a tragic loss when their oldest daughter Mary Jo was killed in a tragic accident. She was laid to rest in the cemetery, very close to where Clyde and Mable would later be buried. In 1975, Clyde and Mable sold the farm in Mobeetie and moved to Dumas when Clyde's health began to fail. Just 10 short years later on November 4, 1985, Clyde passed and was buried in the Mobeetie Cemetery.
