Mr. J. W. Hicks, of this community, died at his home last Thursday night, after several day's continued suffering from a complication of diseases. Mr. Hicks had been complaining for about two or three years and we thought that this spell would subside after a few days, or a week or so any way, but-he grew worse and worse until he died. Mr. Hicks was a good man, a Christian man, always at his post of duty- when able. He served as superintendent in the Sunday school at his church for thirty years and was always ready to speak a word for his heavenly Master, and ever ready to warn the young people to become religious and be ready to die. Mr. Hicks left a widowed companion. He was getting old, and so is she. He left two girls and one son and several friends and relatives to mourn his death, but will say this to this community, that we have lost a good citizen, and his church has lost a good, true and a faithful member in his death. He was buried by the Odd Fellows of Hyndsver, of which he was a faithful member, funeral services conducted by Elders Saunders and Webb Jackson at Oak Hill church.
