Death of Mrs. Elizabeth Hickman

Annapolis, Jan. 3 — Mrs. Elizabeth Hickman died at her home on December 30 at the ripe old age of 86. Grandma Hickman was a woman of character. She helped to make history. Although born in the Southein states she espoused the cause of the Union. Left a widow with two sons and a daughter she worked hard to keep the farm. The two boys went to the war, and when stricken with fever their mother hastened to their side to nurse them. Her son-in-law killed in battle, leaving Mrs. Fiscus, her daughter, a widow. From Indiana Mrs. Hickman with her family came to California about twenty-five years ago. Probably the greatest trial she ever was called upon to endure was some twenty years since, when her only daughter. Mrs. Fiscus was drowned in the ocean near Black Point. The body was never recovered. In these mountains her busy life was an inspiration to all toilers. In religion Elizabeth was an Universalist, and the nearest place to Heaven she loved the most, was her dear Annapolis. On New Year’s day a large gathering viewed the remains in the little Mount Carmal Church, and peacefully she was laid to rest. Services were conducted by Grandpa Boyd. G. A. Batt in a short address told of her worth. J. G. and S. M. Hickman, her two sons survive her. Also G. W. Fiscus. Ivan Hickman, Mrs. Roy Chenoweth and Horace Hickman, her grandchildren."
