Hick, of Delta, is a native of Rensselaer county, New York, where he was born on December 19, 1869. His parents, John and Elvina (Angell) Hick, are also natives of New York, and are now living at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The father is a Presbyterian minister, but at present he is living retired from active work. Two children were born in the family, the Doctor and his younger brother Norman, the latter a traveling salesman out of Chicago. The Doctor was educated at the public schools, a seminary at Oakdale, Nebraska, and a college at Bellevue, that state. In 1889 he began the study of medicine under a preceptor, and in 1891 entered Omaha Medical College, where he was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1895. He came direct to Delta, this state, and here he has since made his home and actively practiced his profession. Closely attentive to every demand of his business and omitting no effort on his part to master it in every way, he was the first president of the county and an interested member of that and the medical societies and a close student of the literature of the profession. He is also the Denver & Rio Grande railroad local surgeon and county health officer. In politics he is a pronounced Republican, and in fraternal life a Freemason, a Knight of Pythias and a Woodman of the World. On March 17, 1895, he was married to Miss Gertrude Luce, a native of Omaha.
