     Amos Dickerson was buried at Sumpter-Dickerson Cemetery, Little River Road, N 36 56.898 W 80 20.100, Floyd Co., Virginia.^2,3 He "Dickerson, Elder Amos, was born in Floyd County, Virginia, May 16, 1832. He is of a sturdy stock of citizenship characterized by their industry, honesty, and unswerving integrity. His early opportunities were limited so that he grew to manhood with but little or no education, and with only muscle and brain with which to wage the battle of life. In 1850 he married Miss Mary Slusher, who, though she never joined the church, was a companion indeed, entering with full sympathy into the struggles of life with her husband and like thousands of Southern wives and mothers, while the husband and father was in the army she went to the field and by the sweat of her face supplied her children with bread. Elder Dickerson professed a hope in Christ and joined the Primitive Baptist Church at White Oak Grove, Floyd Co, Va. in January 1852 and was baptized by Elder Owen Sumner. Early in the war he enlisted in 54th Va. Regiment and served his state for more than three years. While thus engaged as a soldier of his country he was being enlisted as a solider of the cross, therefore having returned from the Civil strife in December 1865, he began to exercise a gift in the ministry, and in 1867 he was ordained to the full functions of the gospel ministry. His services were soon in liberal demand both to the service of churches as pastor and to preach in places beyond. In at least three places the brush was cleared away, a rude stand was erected and he preached the gospel to the people, and baptized those who evidenced a work of faith, and for nearly forty years he served from three to five churches. His has been truly the work of a pastor. It required a travel on horseback a distance of 128 miles a month to serve the churches of his charge. Among the many whom he has baptized are six elders, viz: P. G. Lester, David Sumner, Wm. F. Simmons, Z. T. Turner, H.V. Cole, and C. W. Vaughn, and might well be called a pastor of elders, there being as many as ten who held their membership in churches which he served. He also was favored to baptize his aged father at the age of 87. At one time he served his country in the legislature for six successive years. He is now in the 77th year of his age and in his declining years he is yet active in the ministry of the work to the edification of the saints, and enjoys abiding assurances of the confidence of the brethren and of the people among whom he dwells as minister and citizen."⁵
