HON. GEORGE A HIcKox,
Distinguished Member of Litchfelt
 County Bar. is Dead.

Distinguished Member of Litchfeld
 County Bar. is Dead.
 Washington. June S.-Hon. George 4. Hickox. a leading member of the Litch- 1 field county bar and well known all over Connecticut as lawyer and edi- i tor. died at his home in this place yes terday, aged nearly seventy-three years.
 MT. Hickox was born June Il, 1850. He graduated from Trinity college in 1 1851 and from Lale Law school in 1858. l In 1854 he entered the law office of Hol- lister and Belden in Litchfield, where he continuously resided for forty years.
 His work with the firm of Hollister and Belden won the confidence of his associates and the people of Litchfield county, and in due time he became a practicing lawyer with a large client age.
 He represented Litchfield county in the general assembly of '62 and 'S9 He was editor and published of the Litch- field Enquirer for twenty-five years and made that paper power in Litch- field county and throughout the state of Connecticut.
 As an editorial writer he was conser- vative, but. always strong. He made his paper welcome visitor in the best homes of the people and they accepted the advice of Editor Hickox as safe. honest and reliable, and even of those who did not always follow his leader ship, none failed to respect his judg- ment
 A few years ago he sold out his news paper interest to MT Woodruff. the present able editor and publisher of the Enquirer, and removed to Washington. where he was soon elected judge of pro- mate, an office which he held during two terms.
 He had not been in good health for several months and his demise was not unexpected. .sSE,giT
 During the years of his active work as member of Litchfeld county bar MT. Hickox was regarded as a very safe coupcelor, and his clients trusted him with that degree of confidence few lawyers enjoy.
 He was scrupulously honest, man whose impulses were always of the right sort and whose character was as firmly established on the rock bottom foundation of right, truth and justice as that of any man who ever lived.
 April 22, 1856, MT. Hickox married Mary c. Brisbane of Charleston, s. c. Mrs. Hickox survives her husband. Besides his wife he leaves son and daughter. The son is William B. Hic- kox and the daughter Miss Frances Hickox.
 The funeral will be held in the Con- gregational church of Washington at p. m. Wednesday, June TO-
