Carroll Lucille Dixon Carroll Lucille Dixon was born on April 27, 1922, in Detroit, Michigan, to parents Clara (Lell) and Lawrence Dick. She moved with her family to Dumont, New Jersey, in 1932 where she attended school and graduated from Dumont High School in 1940. There she met Lincoln Dixon of Dumont. Carroll worked in New York City for Harper & Row until she married Lincoln in 1945. In 1956, the young couple and their three daughters moved to the Saranac Lake area. They bought the farm outside of Bloomingdale, where the family raised Black Angus cattle, a few milk cows and several horses. Carroll went from city girl to farm wife overnight. She taught herself how to make butter and cheese, and preserved all the vegetables from her husband’s large and abundant gardens. She enjoyed gardening and kept beautiful flower beds around the home. She became a Brownie Girl Scout leader while her daughters were young.
