Death of J.B. Hicks

Never Regained Consciousness- Funeral services to be held tomorrow

Justus H. Hicks, whose critical illness was noted on Friday, died Saturday
night at 11:45 o'clock.  He was unconscious for a long period preceding his
death and never rallied from the first stroke of paralysis.  He was born in
Cohoes, N.Y. in 1825 and came to Winnebago county in 1953.  In 1865 he
moved to Oshkosh and for a time was quite an active business man.  He was
one of the first secretaries of the Winnebago County Agricultural society
and was a foremost worker in early days for the upbuilding of that
organization.  Immediate relatives who survive him are a wife and two sons,
Ivan H. and Egbert H., both of this city.  The funeral services will be
held at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from Odd Fellows' hall on Algoma
street.  The interment will be at Ellenwood.
