This pioneer couple, with their family, filed on a homestead one and one-half miles southeast of the present town site in 1876.

After a few years of residing on the farm, with Mr. Thickett walking to and from his little Lennox shoe shop, the family moved to Lennox. By then the early businessman had attained a good business patronage, and added a stock of new shoes.
