Two sisters and a brother, Lee Dixon, Myle Huffstetler and Lucille Sellers, were special guests. Ira Dixon held his great- great grandson, one month and 17 days old Glenn Scott Smith on his lap for a five generation picture for his scrapbook. Born in a family of 10 children, “Mr. Ira’ grew up on a farm near where he lives today. He was the son of the late Robert and Frances Dix- on. He and his wife, the late Mattie Lee Blackburn Dixon, also had 10 children, nine of whom are living. Their oldest, Robert Dixon, died at a young age and Mrs. Dixon died three years ago.
