THE LATE WM. HICINBOTHAM - Mr. Hicinbotham, whose death published in our last issue, was a veteran of the civil war and a lifelong member of the Methodist church. A wife survives him. The funeral was held on October 12 at Columbus, one of the largest assemblage ever seen at a funeral in that neighborhood.
Wm. Hicinbotham was born Nov. 18, 18(36) near (in)Ill., and died Oct. 10, 1902, in Portland Ore. In 18(?) he with his father crossed the plains to Oregon and in the west he spent his life. In early manhood he braved the dangers of the Rogue River country inhabited by hostile Indians, he being engaged for several years in carrying the U.S. mails.
In 18(?) while attending a M.E. camp meeting, on the old Clear Creek camp ground, Clackamas Co., Ogn., he was converted. His experience was clear and definite, and the prayers of a godly father had been answered. In this faith he lived and died.
In Dec., 1861, he enlisted in the Co. E., 1st Rgt. Oregon volunteers, and served his country as a non-commissioned officer faithfully and well for three years. The testimony of one of his comrades was "every man in the company knew that William was a Christian." Soon after his discharge he engaged in the cattle business in Yakima county; and after several years of successful operations as a cattle man the testimony still was "Hicinbotham is a Christian."
On Aug. 6, 1868, near Viola, Oregon, he was married to Mary J. Brown. Their married life of 34 years was marked by Christian faithfulness and devotion. These years were mostly lived at Columbus, Washington. Here he and his wife contributed largely toward the building of a church and parsonage. He was ever a liberal supporter of the gospel, and his home always open to the minister.
In November, 1901, disease fastened on his already wasting body, and all through the weary months no complaint was broken. God's will was his. The end found him ready and waiting, with faith unshaken.
The funeral was held in the church he had helped to build, attended by a large company of friends, and neighbors from Centerville, Goldendale and Columbus. Services were conducted by the writer, assisted by Rev. A.W. Brown of the Puget Sound conference, and Father Hornibrook of Goldendale. His remains were laid tender away in the cemetery overlooking his home of years on the banks of the might Columbia.
The memories of his life are as fragrant as the bank of a rare flowers which concealed his earthly tomb.
Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord for their works do follow them.

As stated in his obituary, he was involved in building and serving the Methodist church in Goldendale. During that time, the Goldendale church often employed the services of Rev. Gustavus Hines. Rev. Hines married a much younger woman, Ann, after the death of his first wife. They had a baby girl named Gustina, nicknamed “Gussie.” After Rev. Hines' death in 1873, Ann Hines moved to Goldendale to be closer to her brother. Unfortunately, she became ill, and died in 1875. She made arrangements for Gussie to be fostered by the Hicinbothems. Since they had no children of their own they loved her very much and gave her a wonderful home. Sadly, Gussie died when only about 8 years old. She is buried very near to William's plot.
