Leonard Andrew Hicks was born August 4, 1927, in Eli, Nebraska, the 6th of 9 children born to Asa Lee and Julia Pauline (Steele) Hicks. As a child he moved with his family to Patricia, South Dakota. He attended Patricia School, and later Bennett County High School, graduating in 1945. Leonard entered the service after graduation, serving as a Military Policeman in the United States Army. He was honorably discharged on November 9, 1946. Leonard returned to the Martin area, where he worked with his parents on the family farm-ranch. It was at that time that he met the love of his life, a school teacher named Janet Belle Tarr. They were united in marriage on June 1, 1948 in Martin. They continued to make their home in Martin until the summer of 1952, when they moved to her parents' farm-ranch six miles southeast of Norris. They continued to live and work on that ranch their entire married life. Besides farming and ranching, Leonard was a longtime Norris township commissioner. Leonard truly loved everything about ranching, the cattle, the horses, the crops. He was a true steward of the land, trying to give back everything that the land gave him. He cherished the times that his family would all return to the ranch. He also enjoyed rodeos and football, either in the stands or on the television. Leonard will be truly missed by all his family and friends. Grateful for having shared his life include his wife of 61 years, Janet Belle Hicks of Norris; one son Jerry Hicks and special friend Kathy of Norris; four daughters Carol Ann Gibson and her husband Bernard of Box Elder, Cheryl Paul and her husband Rod of Miller, Darlene Layh and her husband Glenn of Winner, and Jo Ann Goodman of Ft.
