Adeline Dixon
Adeline Dixon was born December 10, 1919, to Joseph and Antonia (Nejdl) Antone of Czechoslovakia. She was born and raised as a young girl in the family sod house north of Palisade, Nebraska. Adeline attended grade school in the District 7 country school. She was a graduate of Hayes County High School. Adeline later attended Lincoln Barber College and was a licensed barber in Cozad, Nebraska, with her youngest son until health forced her to retire at age 89.

Adeline was always enamored with flowers, birds, and the mystery of the stars and all things old and weathered. She loved to instill in her children and grandchildren her delights in nature’s beauty and the quirkiness of human kind. Adeline marched to a different drummer.
