R. E. Dixon

During the late 1800s, R. E. Dixon was a prominent businessman in the city, operating as a "Reliable Jeweler" located on the Virginia side of Main Street in Bristol. Historical and descriptive reviews of Bristol from that period note that his jewelry business was the "Successor to V. Doriot" and ranked among the established mercantile houses of the community. His professional standing in the community aligned with his leadership role as Worshipful Master of King Lodge No. 461 in 1887.
