He was a great admirer of horses, and had the reputation of keeping the finest in the country. He was notes for his kindness to the poor, and Fortune seemed to smile on him, for every two or three years he was able to add another eight acres tract to his already large estate. A few years ago Mrs. Slick inherited quite a large amount from her father, and this too, was invested in land. At the death of Mr. Slick, the greater part of the large farm was divided in proportionately among the children, with a abundance left for the widow. Mr. Slick was always active in maintaining the pikes in his neighborhood in good condition, the main one east of his place, having cost him over $2,000. He never aspired to public office, and never held one higher than that of supervisor. He was however, very popular as a member of the Christian church, while Mrs. Slick is equally well respected as a member of the United Brethren church. He never sued, nor was sued, believing it to be better to give than to take. The family are honored for their integrity and upright lives and for their openhanded charity.
