country near, Carthagenia, Ohio, Dec.
81, 1861. She came to st. Paul with
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Blakely
Durant in 1856 and resided here un-
til her death.
She was a product of Minnesota's
public school system and the public
spirit which she constantly displayed,
demonstrated the excellence of that
system.
Mrs. Hickman was the mother of
seven children, four of whom have
died, and she proved herself to be
an invaluable aid in directing the
training Of these children along lines
of general usefulness and her three
sons are living witnesses: Maurice
A. and John H., Jr., have for years
been very proficient clerks in the St.
