**********************************************************************

Timothy Hickman, farmer and millwright, was born in Monroe County, Ohio
in 1852.  His parents' history appears in another part of this work.
Timothy was educated in the common schools of Ohio, and resided with 
his parents until his marriage, in 1880, to Miss Susan E. Roberts, who
was born in Dent county, Mo., in 1857, being a daughter of Hugh and
Sarah Roberts.  The first year after his marriage Mr. Hickman resided 
on his father's farm, which he tilled.  In 1881 he bought a farm in
Current Township, on Current River, which he still owns.  In 1883 he 
took charge of a grist-mill located on an adjoining farm belonging to
his mother, and controls and manages the mill as though it were his 
own.  The mill was erected in 1883.  It has two sets of buhrs, runs by
water, and is patronized by the public twenty-two miles distant, thus
showing Mr. Hickman's popularity as a good miller.  In connection with 
these duties, he also successfully manages a farm of 170 acres, and has
eighty acres under cultivation.  He is a Republican in politics, and in
1882 was elected to the office of justice of peace, and served with
credit for two years.  He is postmaster at Montauk Post office, a 
member of the Agricultural Wheel, and he and wife are members of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
