Mrs. A.C. Dick, ‘Little Colonel’ Inspirer, Dies
Mrs. Albert C. Dick, who as a young girl inspired the famous “Little colonel” stories by Annie Fellows Johnston, died Thursday afternoon at National Health Enterprises Northfield. She was 84. It was in the 1980s that Mrs. Dick, then Hattie Cochran, met Mrs. Johnston in Pewee Valley and the Little Colonel was born. Her name in the stories was Lloyd Sherman, and Pewee Valley became Lloydsboro Valley, but the places and people in the books actually existed in the town where Hattie Cochran grew up. It was said that she got her Little Colonel nickname because she inherited her colonel grandfather’s imperious manner and determination to get his own way.
In 1969, Mrs. Dick was asked if she did have some of those traits as a child, if she did have temper tantrums. She replied that she remembered lying on the floor and kicking, but added: “Why every child does that.” Shirley Temple played the role in a movie in the mid-30s. Now, there is a Little Colonel Playhouse in Pewee Valley. It is a revamped general store.
Mrs. Dick was a member of the National Society of Colonial Dames of America and a former member of the Pendennis Club, Louisville Country Club and Junior League of Louisville. She was a charter member of the Cabbage Patch Settlement House.
Survivors include two sons, Albert C. Dick, Jr. and J.H. Cochran Dick; three grandchildren, Harriett C. Dick, George C. Dick and David C. Dick. Private graveside services will be at Cave Hill Cemetery at 11 a.m. Saturday. The family requested that expressions of sympathy take the form of contributions to charity.
