CORNELIUS HICKEY.—This gentleman is a native of Limerick, Ireland, born June 5,
1827. His father, John Hickey, came to America in 1829, with his family and
settled in Susquehanna county, Pennsylvania, where he reared his family of eight
children and where all of the children, except our subject, settled.

  Our subject came with James McMahon, now of San Jose, in 1850. He spent the
year of 1851 and a portion of the following year in the mines of Sierra, and
then located at San Juan, where he lived until 1875. He then spent six years in
Oakland, and in 1882 located at Hollister, which has since been his home.

  In 1854 he married Miss Ann Brum, who died at Oakland, in 1869, leaving two
daughters: Ellen, now Mrs. John Welch, of Hollister; and Annie, who died at the
age of eighteen. In 1874 Mr. Hickey again married Mrs. Jennie Pepper, of
Hollister, and two daughters have been born to these two, namely: Lula and Annie.

  Mr. Hickey is a carpenter by trade and has followed this calling for more than
thirty years. He is held in high esteem as a citizen and takes a somewhat active
part in the local politics. He owns a pleasant home in Hollister and is
surrounded by a happy family.
