Ind.; was born December 2, 1833, and is the fourth of the six children of
James T. and Dorothy (Hamilton) Hickman, natives of Kentucky, and

Elender Hamilton, of Morgan County, which union has been crowned by six
children--Theresa J., deceased; Louisa I.; William H., deceased; Joseph
P., James N., and Ira E.; they have also adopted a daughter--Louisa I.
Donnell. Mr. Hickman is a Republican, and was an active member of the
