FRANK E. HICKEY.

	Frank E. Hickey, a member of the Denver bar, was born in 
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, July 23. 1892. His great-grandfather, who was of 
Scotch birth came to America while this country was still numbered 
among the colonial possessions of Great Britain, and after the 
Revolutionary war he removed to Canada. His son, Sephreness Hickey, 
however, again crossed the border and took up his abode in Wisconsin, 
where he cast in his lot among the pioneer settlers. He was a well 
known lumberman of that early period. His son, Frank L. Hickey, was 
born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at the same place where the birth of 
Frank E. Hickey of this review occurred. The father followed accounting 
and merchandising in Milwaukee for many years but ultimately became a 
resident of Denver in 1904 and is still engaged in business here as an 
accountant. He married Eva Wickens, a native of Montreal. Quebec, 
Canada, and of English descent. Her father was born on the Isle of 
Wight and became a resident of Canada about 1858, spending his 
remaining days there. The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Hickey was 
celebrated in Montreal, Canada, and they became the parents of two 
children, the younger being Jsmes C. Hickey, who is cashier of the 
United Fruit Dispatch Company of Denver.

	Frank E. Hickey. the elder, attended the public schools of 
Milwaukee and afterward continued his education in the schools of 
Denver. Subsequently he entered the University of Denver for the study 
of law and was graduated with the LL. B. degree in June, 1914, while in 
September of the same year he was admitted to the bar. During his 
college days he was employed in the law office of Everett Owens and 
afterward in the office of Charles Sackmann and through his earnings 
was enabled to pay his way in the university. His plans to procure his 
education indicated the elemental strength of his character and the 
same persistency of purpose has characterized him since starting out 
upon the active work of the profession. Immediately after his admission 
to the bar he took up general practice, becoming a member of the firm 
of Irwin, Irwin & Hickey. This firm is accorded a liberal clientage 
that has connected its members with much of the important litigation 
tried in the courts of the district. Mr. Hickey is resourceful in 
presenting his cause, is strong in argument, clear in his deductions 
and sound in his reasoning.

	On the 26th of May. 1917, in Denver, was celebrated the marriage 
of Mr. Hickey and Miss Edna Hawkins, a native of Indiana and a daughter 
of Joseph Hawkins, now deceased. In politics Mr. Hickey has always been 
a stalwart republican since attaining the right of franchise. 
Fraternally he is connected with the Independent Order of Foresters and 
the Court of Honor and his religious faith is evidenced in his 
membership in St. Paul's Episcopal church. Those who know him, and he 
has a wide acquaintance in Denver, where he has resided since his 
boyhood days, esteem him highly as a man of sterling worth and one 
whose advancement along professional lines is assured because he 
possesses the requisite qualities of the able lawyer-comprehensive 
knowledge of the principles of jurisprudence and ability to accurately 
apply these principles.
