The following is taken from the st.
Thomas (Ont.) Journal Of February
16. The gentleman honored is broth
er of Mrs. M. Griffith, of this city:
A complimentary banquet was tend
cred to T. Hickey, superintendent of
maintenance, Michigan Central Rail
way, with headquarters at Detroit, by
his st. Thomas friends, at the Grand
Central Hotel, February 16.
The gathering consisted chiefly of
railroad and ex-railroad men, with a
good sprinkling of close associates of
Mr.. Hickey engaged in other lines of
business. Railroaders of every de-
partment were present to do honor to
gentleman whose railroad career in
this city covered a period of MANY
years, and whose removal from st.
Thomas is felt to be a distinct loss to
the community.
The men of the Michigan Central
track department, to show their es-
TEEN for Mr.. Hickey, presented him
with handsome cabinet of solid sill
yer. The recipient was deeply touch
ed by this manifestation of good will
towards him on the part of his men
men who Mr.. Hickey very appro-
priately said had contributed largely
by their services to the success of the
road department of the M. C. r.
The presentation of the cabinet of
silver was made by Jack Salter, chief
clerk of the track department. Mr..
Salter read an address in which were
the best wishes of the men
of the track department towards Mr..
Hickey and his estimable family.
Mr.. Hickey thanked his friends for
the kindness shown him. He would
always remember the good friends he
had In st, Thomas. If he had met
with success in his work much of the
credit was due to the men of his de-
partment who had given him such
loyal service. He was always ready
to assist his men. He had found out
that team work was necessary for the
success of any work. He would be
glad to meet any of his friends at anv
time and hoped. to, keep up the old &C.
quaintaaeeship. 4-rIo atoyw An4av
