Ray W Dickerson was born in Atkinson in the year 1889, the son of William Dickerson, one
of Holt County’s first settlers and an early Nebraska pioneer. He married Hazel E Williams in 1916
and moved to Butte in 1918, where he was one of the owners of the Dickerson and Raymer Hardware Store,
now Honke’s Hardware. He helped run this business for 30 years, retiring in 1947. During this time
he served several times as Chairman of the Town Board, as Fire Chief, as a bank director and at other
community tasks where his services were needed. A town project during one of his terms in office was
the paving of the main street of Butte, which he supervised.
After retiring from the hardware business he was elected as Boyd County Commissioner, and served
on this board for a period of 12 years. In 1963 he was honored by the local Masonic Lodge and other
Boyd and Holt County lodge members when he received his 50 year pin for membership in the organization.
The Dickersons have 3 children; Dr William J Dickerson of Omaha, Selma (Mrs Lloyd Sinclair) of Butte;
and Mary Lou (Mrs William Merrick) of Boseman, Montana. There are 10 grandsons and 1 granddaughter.
Dick although retired is still a familiar figure on the streets of Butte, always ready for a
fishing outing or a romp with one of his grandsons.
