"Mr. H.W. Dedman of Houston, Texas, passed into the presence of the Lord on Jan. 1, 1963. During the same day he had visited with Christians with Christians in Manvel, Texas, returning to his home late in the afternoon. He suffered a heart attack and death came quickly without suffering. Mr. Dedman was a businessman who was greatly interested in the work of the Lord, and preached often, taught the Word, witnessed tirelessly and gave of his means generously. He founded the Bible, Tract and Missionary Society in 1942, and the Security Foundation in 1952. Through these two agencies, much equipment and funds were sent to the mission field.
He carried on extensive correspondence with missionaries and was acquainted with the Lord's work and workers all over the world. Due to his vision and planting, the work of the Bible, Tract and Missionary Society and the Security Foundation will continue after his death. He made numerous trips to [[Cuba]] and [[Mexico]] distributing tracts and the Scriptures, and also to the British Isles for matters pertaining to the Lord's work. Early in 1962, his 80th year, he traveled by automobile to Mexico, accompanied by Mr. Thomas Smith. Later in 1962 he went to the British Isles, returning from this trip only two months before his death."
