History of Marshall County Kansas
by Emma Forter, 1917
BF Bowen & Co. Indianapolis, Indiana

William H. Dexter, one of the well-known and substantial farmers of Center township, this county, is a native of the Cominion of Canada, but has been a resident of Marshall county since he was nine years of age, having come here with his parents in 1870, and may thus properly be regarded as one of the pioneers of the county, having been a witness to its development since the days of the open range. He was born on April 6, 1861, son of Asahel and Jane (Whitfield) Dexter, natives, respectively of Canada and of England, who became pioneers of Marshall county and whose last days were spent here.

William H. Dexter, as noted above, was but nine years of age when his parents came to Marshall county and he was reared on the pioneer farm that his father opened for cultivation, even from the days of his boyhood an able assistant in the labors of developing and improving the same. He completed his schooling in the Marysville schools and early began to relieve his father of the responsibility of farm management, continuing to live on the old home place, which is still his home and which he now owns. Mr. Dexter has three hundred and ten acres in that tract, a well-improved and profitably cultivated farm, on which there are two sets of farm buildings. In addition to his general farming he has given considerable attention to the raising of live stock and has done very well.

On December 29, 1897, William Dexter was united in marriage to Hettie Hewitt, who was born at Blue Rapids, this county daughter of Richard and Jane (Strange3) Hewitt, natives respectively of Illinois and of Missouri, early settlers of Blue Rapids township, who are now living at Jennings, Oaklahoma, to which place they moved in 1893. To that union four children have been born, Margaret Alice, Frederick, William, Ralph Hiram and Wilma Hettie, the two former of whom are now students in the Marysville high school. Mr. and Mrs Dexter are members of the Baptist church and Mr. Dexter is a member of the board of trustees of the same. He is a member of the Knights and Ladies of Security.

 

Hettie Alice HEWITT [Parents] [scrapbook] was born 31 Jul 1871 in Blue Rapids, Marshall, KS. She died 17 Feb 1957 in Dewitt, Saline, NE and was buried in Marysville, Marshall, KS. Hettie married William Hiram DEXTER on 29 Dec 1897 in Blue Rapids, Marshall, KS.
