He was the son of Billa Dickson and Mary Ann Stoddard Dickson. His father and mother joined the church before he was born. They were both ardent admirers of the Prophet Joseph Smith. One time, during the Prophet's exile, his mother Mary prepared corn bread for him and he ate at their table - the best she could provide. His father was one of the number that saw the mantle of Joseph Smith fall on Brigham Young and testified of this to his children all his life. His father and family immigrated to Utah in 1852, he being only two years old, and rode in a table turned upside down much of the way across the plains. He was the fifth child in a family of six.
