Hicks was born near Huntsville, Illinois, October 30, 1851 and died at his home in Mound City, March 19, 1919, in his 68th year. When he was 12 years old the family moved to Red Wing, Minn., where he grew to manhood. At the age of 21 he came with his parents to Nodaway county, Mo., locating on a farm near Clearmont. He was married to Maria Barber, December 25, 1876 and they were engaged in farming for several years. In December 1886 his wife died leaving him with three small children. March 6, 1889 he was married to Hattie Wing. A short time after their marriage he joined the Missouri Conference and began his work in the ministry, he having been converted in early childhood, in Illinois. On his first charge - Pickering, he was his own evangelist and saw several hundred conversion as a result of his labors. A spirit of evangelism marked his entire ministry. Although it was during his pastorate that the Mound City church was enlarged and remodeled to its present state, Brother Hicks was more a builder of men than of material things. His pastorate here was marked by the addition to the membership roll of 148 persons on profession of faith. His appointments were Pickering, Westboro, Grant City, Mound City and Hopkins, where in the spring of 1906 he took a lay off for the benefit of his health. He moved back to Mound City for a well earned rest, but at the urgent solicitation of the superintendent of the Wyoming Mission, he soon took a charge there, spending the remainder of his active life on that field. His appointments were Buffalo, Wheatland and Douglas. During the autumn of 1916 he felt compelled to retire, which he did, removing to St. Paul, Minn., and two years later to Mound City. Brother Hicks was a devoted husband, a kind and loving father, a faithful minister of the Gospel and a man of God with a heart big enough to love the whole world. Besides a wide circle of relatives and friends he leaves his wife and five children. They are: William Hicks of Minneapolis and Prof. Donald Hicks of St. Paul, Minn, Mrs. William Lewis of Quitman and Mrs. R. E. Terhune and Hattie Hicks of Mound City. He has gone to his coronation, and many will rise up and call him blessed. 'He giveth his beloved sleep.' Funeral services were held at Mound City Friday morning, conducted by Rev. Lane Douglas, after which the body was brought to Burr Oak where another service was conducted by Rev. Reubin Barrett, and the body was laid away in Burr Oak cemetery."
