John Jury Hicks was born on the Atlantic Ocean May 17, 1849 to Philip Hicks & Jane Jury Hicks (his third of 5 wives). He was born on board the ship that took them from England to Canada. Jane died in 1853 and is probably buried in Rose Hill. Philip died in 1883 in Coffeyville, Montgomery, Kansas (#34962172) but either some of his children re-interned him to Rose Hill or they set up a memorial in Coffeyville but buried his body in Rose Hill Cemetery (#143807860).
John Jury Hicks married Clara Grace Avery on Dec 5, 1876 in Blue Island, Illinois and she died in 1887 (b. 1853 in NY) after having 5 children. Her death certificate shows she is also buried in Rose Hill Cemetery.
John Jury Hicks was a famous Chicago Wagon builder:
History of Chicago , Volume 3 (Google eBook) Alfred Theodore Andreas A. T. Andreas, 1886 - Chicago (Ill.) p 746
John J. Hicks - The wagon and truck works of John J. Hicks at Nos 1-5 Illinois Street, are among the pioneer enterprises of the city. This business was established in 1850, by Philip Hicks, upon a moderate capital. With the growth of the city, the business of this house expanded, and assumed important proportions. Later, Philip Hicks was succeeded by John J. Hicks, the present proprietor, and a gentleman of unbounded ability and broad practical experience. The works are large and suitably arranged for the successful and convenient execution of all work in his line. All requisite machinery of the best patterns is provided, and all the equipment of the factory is complete, a large number of artisans being kept constantly employed. This is one of the oldest and most reliable factories in the city, and its proprietor is universally known and respected.
