LAS VEGAS AGE
4/8/1916

DEATH OF DAN HICKEY

    Daniel HICKEY, for years a prominent figure in Las Vegas, died 
Saturday, April 1, in Los Angeles.  He leaves surviving him a sister, 
Miss Nora HICKEY. The funeral services were held at the undertaking 
parlors at 1031 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, at 9 a.m. Tuesday.  
Requiem mass was celebrated at St. Vincent's church at 9:30. Interment 
was in Calvary cemetery.
    Mr. HICKEY left Vegas something over a year ago in the hope of 
regaining his shattered health, but in vain. For months his condition 
has been considered hopeless and his demise comes as no surprise to his 
acquaintances. "Dan," as he was familiarly called here, was possessed 
of many admirable qualities and he leaves many friends who sincerely 
regret his sad ending. His latter years were unfortunately, full of 
trouble and distress and his weary spirit doubtless welcomes the peace 
and quiet of "That undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler 
returns."
    Daniel D. HICKEY was born in the County of Cork, Ireland, in the 
year 1867 and came to America in the early eighties. He first lived in 
New York then Omaha {illegible} ....ver, where he was married March 17, 
1897. He settled in Las Vegas in May, 1905, and almost at once started 
in business, opening a hotel in the Jacobs building on Main street near 
the site of the present Lincoln hotel. He built the Lincoln hotel about 
the year 1911.
    Mrs. Margaret HICKEY, his wife, died in Los Angeles March 8, 1915.  
Mr. HICKEY's only surviving relative, so far as is known, is his sister, 
Nora E. HICKEY, to whom he deeded all his real estate and personal 
property before his death.
