Hicks, son of James F. and Elizabeth Hicks, was born in Jefferson county, Iowa, July 21, 1852, and passed away at his home in Moravia, Iowa, April 6, 1933, at the age of 80 years, 7 months and 13 days. At the age of 23 he was united in marriage with Rachel S. Tucker, who departed this life August 18, 1901. One daughter, Clara, also preceded them in death July 19, 1891, at the age of 15 years. On March 24, 1904, he was married to Emmeline McAdams, who survives him. He is also survived by four sisters and two brothers, Mrs. Jane Bishop, Mrs. Mary Hiatt, H. R. Hicks of Unionville, Iowa, W. L. Hicks, Mrs. Emma Pabst and Minnie Hicks of Moravia, Iowa. He was preceded in death by his father, mother and one brother, Charles H. Hicks, and two sisters who died in infancy. In young manhood he was happily converted, always living an exemplary christian life, although not uniting with any church organization. He was a member of Antiquity Lodge No. 252, A.F. & A.M., of Moravia, Iowa; a member of the Euclid Chapter No. 43, Royal Arch Masons of Centerville, Iowa; a member of St. Johns' Commandery No. 21, also of Centerville, Iowa; and a member of the Order of the Mystic Shrine, Kaaba Temple at Davenport, Iowa. Funeral services for the late J. J. Hicks, held at the M. E. church in Moravia Saturday afternoon, April 8, at 2 o'clock, were largely attended, friends coming for many miles around to pay tribute to this man whom they loved and respected. The service was in charge of Rev. J. C. Behrens, pastor of the church, who was assisted by Rev. B. G. Hankins of Hedrick, Iowa, and Rev. W. P. Donahoo of Moravia. The Masonic lodge of Moravia, of which Mr. Hicks has been a member for many years, also had a part in the service. Preceding the services at the church, a short service was held at the home. Interment was made in the Denny cemetery. Music was by a male quartet from the Masonic Lodge composed of L. H. Priebe, Z. C. Callen, J. F. Albert and W. T. Smith, with Mrs. I. F. Albert accompanying at the piano. Pallbearers were nephews of Mr. and Mrs. Hicks and were: Zell and Earl Hiatt, P. E. More, Ralph Wilson, Ralph Hicks, Harve McCumber, A. G. Broshar, and Hicks Pabst. St. Johns' Commandery of Centerville, of which Mr. Hicks was a member, sent an escort of seven for the funeral service. Mr. Hicks' death occurred at his home here Thursday evening at 7:15 following an illness of about nine weeks. For many years the deceased has been a resident of Appanoose county, coming here from Jefferson county when a lad. He grew to manhood on a farm in the Miller neighborhood and after this marriage continued in that occupation, farming extensively for a number of years. For more than forty years he has lived in Moravia and during that time has engaged successfully in numerous business enterprises. He was for a while a partner with J. E. Sharp in the hardware business. The firm at that time had charge of the Moravia post office. Later he was a partner with Harve Tisde and M. P. Main in the general store. For about 28 years Mr. Hicks engaged quite extensively in buying and selling of mine timbers and native lumber, in some years shipping as high as 200 cars. During his early years in this business, a brother, Charles Hicks, was a partner in the firm. After the death of Charles Hicks, (?) J. Hutton became a member of the firm which was known as Hicks and Hutton. Through his various business endeavors and long life in this vicinity, Mr. Hicks has become very well known, his acquaintance expanding for many miles around. These acquaintances are also his friends who are happy for their associations with him. He was known as an honest and fair-dealing business man, and as an exemplary citizen of the community. Those whom he has befriended are many and they now fully realize that a true friend has gone on. He was particularly kind and attentive to the children and took great delight in their happiness. In eulogizing Mr. Hicks, Rev. Donahoo, his neighbor for many years, very truthfully said that people hardly appreciate that a true friend as the deceased was of the community, only those closest to him knowing of many of the kind deeds he has performed.
