Obituary - Clovis News-Journal, Monday, September 9, 1957; p1, Vol. 29, No. 138
 |
| from Susan Patterson |
Dr. Albert L. Dillon, 80, a pioneer physician in Clovis, died Sunday afternoon in South Laguna, Calif., according to word received in Clovis by a nephew, Edmund Dillon.
Dr. Dillon's family will accompany the body to Clovis Tuesday afternoon and funeral services are scheduled for 2 p.m. Wednesday from the Charles V. Steed Memorial Chapel. Burial will be in Lawn Haven Memorial Park under direction of Steeds.
Born in December 1876 in Scotland, Ill., Dr. Dillon moved to Clovis in 1909 and was in partnership with his brother, the late Dr. Fred Dillon. He practiced in Clovis until after World War II when he retired and moved to South Laguna.
Dr. Dillon was a member of a Masonic Lodge in Illinois, and transferred his membership to the newly formed Clovis Lodge No. 40, AF&AM. on Aug. 3, 1909. He was the second Master of the Clovis Lodge, serving in 1910, and was the oldest Past Master of the local Masonic organization.
Dr. Dillon was a member of the Clovis Municipal Board of Education in 1918 when the Clovis high school building was built at 7th and Main - the building has just been razed.
Surviving Dr. Dillon are his widow, Dixie; a daughter, Mrs. M.L. Milmore, Fayetteville, Ark.; three sons, Robert L., Carlsbad, Dr. Jackson C., Fresno, Calif., and Leroy, Las Vegas, Nev.; seven grandchildren; a brother, Dr. Carl C., Sidell, Ill.; a sister, Mrs. Charles Inskip, Wallace, Ida.; a sister-in-law, Mrs. Fred Dillon, Clovis; and a niece and nephew, Mrs. Julia Pearson, Purcell, Okla., and Edmund L. Dillon, Clovis.
- Obituary written by family gave a birth year of 1876. -

Article written at Dr. A.L. Dillon's death by a friend.

| Probably from the Clovis newspaper. [Received from Dr. A.L. Dillon's great-niece, Susan P.] |
The passing of Dr. A. L. Dillon, in South Laguna, Calif., was a shock to me, in spite of the fact that I have known for some time he was in poor health. But we are never prepared for such news.
I have known Dr. Dillon since his arrival here in 1909 from Illinois. He has been one of my closest friends thru-out his life here. Outside of politics he and I saw things remarkably alike. For years he was a Republican leader in Curry County, and was a high-ranking Mason. The doctor dated back to horse and buggy days, of his profession, and had driven many miles over regional roads taking care of his patients. He had one of the first automobiles in Clovis.
Dr. Dillon planned to sell his home in South Laguna and move to Carlsbad to be near his son Bob who is a Santa Fe employee in the Cavern City. His burial here was a natural consequence of his love for New Mexico and Clovis. I presume Mrs. Dillon's future plans are not yet determined, altho' she may continue to reside in South Laguna at least until property interests there have been sold.
Dr. Dillon was 80 years old.

I don't know why the birth year discrepancies. They started when Albert L Dillon moved to Clovis, New Mexico. Was he upset from his recent divorce? At the start of a new life, did he want to be seen as younger without the baggage of a divorce? He started to date Dixie Morrow who was 14 years younger? He did sign the WW1 Draft Registration Card with the 1880 date; however, he also signed the 1900 Federal Census as enumerator, his marriage application to Lois Dawson, the birth information for his son, Albert L Dillon, Jr., as the attending physician. With the more consistent early data, I believe the 1876 date. It is up to each reader to decide for themselves.
