South Bend Tribune 2/24/1951
Louis J. Hickey, 403 Lincoln Way West, co-director of the Hickey Funeral Home was killed instantly at about 3:55 a.m. today when his eastbound auto skidded out of control, struck a pole and turned over on U.S. highway No. 20, a quarter mile east of Elder road, near Mishawaka. He was a son of Thomas L. Hickey, Sr., prominent contractor. The Hickey ambulance crew answered a call to the scene unaware of the identity of the victim, according to James Morris, the driver.
The widow, a patient in St. Joseph Hospital, where the couple's fifth child was born two days ago, was informed of the tragedy by the family physician.
Deputies of the sheriff's department said the treacherous icy stretch had been reported to the state highway department in Goshen at 12:05 and 3:00 a.m. following two injury and one non-injury accidents which preceded Hickey's death. Coroner T. C. Goraczewski said Hickey died of a skull fracture and internal injuries. Deputies said Hickey's car showed skid marks about 100 feet long.
Hickey was born in South Bend July 27, 1914, and spent his entire life here. He attended St. Joseph parochial school and was graduated from Central High School, where he participated in sports. In 1934, 1935 and 1936 he played varsity football with the University of Notre Dame team. He was graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1937. He also was a graduate of the Indiana College of Embalmers, Indianapolis.
He was a member of the Indiana Funeral Directors association and the National Funeral Directors association. He was a member of St. Joseph Catholic parish, the Optimist Club, South Bend Lodge No. 235 Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks, the Indiana Club, Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus and the Notre Dame Alumni Club of St. Joseph Valley.
On Aug. 12, 1939, he married Lucille Eulitz who survives. Also surviving are a two-day-old son, James Michael; four other children, Patricia, Barbara, Louis Jr., and Joan; his parents; five brothers, Thomas L. Jr., Donald F., Gerald A. and Joseph E., all of South Bend, and John P. of Boston, Mass.; and two sisters, Mrs. C.J. Arnt and Mrs Gerald F. Sarb, both of Detroit, Mich.
