Stephen Dicks in 1795 purchased from Sotha Hickman 33 acres of land
including what is now the village of Quiet Dell and erected a mill
on it. He afterwards sold it to Able Bond, who conducted the mill
for many years.

Mr. Dicks as a boy in July 1776 heard the Declaration of
Independence read from the steps of Independence Hall in
Philadelphia just after its passage by the Convention.

He lived to an honored old age and had the respect of all who knew
him.
