Dr. Hickman’s Death Causes Much Sorrow

Highly Esteemed Citizen Passed Away In St. Louis Hospital Tuesday Night.

The sad news reached friends here late Tuesday night, March 2, that Dr. John L. Hickman, a long-time resident of Piedmont, well known and universally respected throughout Wayne and Iron counties, had passed away that evening at Barnes Hospital, St. Louis.Death was due to a complication of diseases.

Dr. Hickman had been critically ill for two months. After being treated at his home on Highway 34 just east of the city limits, for some two or three weeks, he was taken to Brandon Hospital, Poplar Bluff, where he remained under the care of staff physicians for a month. His condition failed to improve, and a week ago last Friday, he was removed to Barnes Hospital in the hope that specialists connected with that institution would be able to restore his health. But, although he had the best of care and skilled attention, he continued to fail, and the end came about ten o’clock.

The body was brought to Gish Funeral Home Wednesday morning and lay in state there Wednesday. The funeral will be held at the Methodist Church in this city at two o’clock Friday afternoon, March 5, and burial will be made in the Des Arc cemetery. Dr. Hickman was a devoted member of the Methodist church, and the church service will be in charge of his pastor and close friend, Rev. T. E. Smith. The service at the grave will probably be conducted by Wayne Lodge No. 526 A. F. & A. M., of which deceased hadbeen a faithful member for many years.

Surviving is his wife, Mrs. Maude Hickman, and three children, one son, Orestes Hickman of Kansas City, two daughters, Mrs. Frieda Long of Des Arc, and Mrs. Lenna Rayfield of St. Louis. He was about 65 years of age.

Dr. Hickman was a splendid citizen, a faithful friend and a good neighbor. He was devoted to his family, and was affable and congenial to all. He was known far and wide throughout this section of the state, and his passing will be deeply mourned by all who knew him and admired his many virtues of head and heart. His place in the life of the community will, indeed, be hard to fill. We hope to have an obituary for next week’s issue.

Dr. and Mrs. J. L. Hickman arrived home last Friday from their automobile trip of three weeks duration through Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska. According to the Doctor, their trip was a most enjoyable one,and one which he hopes to take again next summer.

After leaving St. Louis the party found excellent roads throughout the entire trip and at various towns which they visited or stopped for the night, they were accorded the fullest hospitality of the citizenship. - Dr. Hickman says that practically every town of any size along the main highways in the northern states has a tourist camp in or near the town,
where tents, water, fuel, stoves, in fact most every convenience, is furnished without charge to visitors. In formation bureaus are also at hand to direct tourists to all points of interest and to furnish information regarding the condition of roads, etc.

Dr. and Mrs. Hickman were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Miller and Miss Minnie Miller of Des Arc.
