Mrs Hicks was 79 years of age, a native of Cornwall and was born at St. Austell on June 7, 1857. In 1881 she came to South Africa to be married to Mr J. R. Hicks, and subsequently made South Africa her home. Her younger brother, the late Mr. Harry King Tucker, was State Coach and heraldic decorator to the late President Paul Kruger. All her other brothers and sisters live in England. For 14 years after her marriage Mrs Hicks lived in Cape Town, and came to Kimberley in 1895. She has resided here ever since, making periodic trips to the Cape and to England. Mrs Hicks has been suffering from indifferent health for the past two or three years, and during the past four months had been visiting, with her husband, her children at the Cape, Malmesbury and Worcester, and was visiting her youngest daughter, Mrs I. J. Poley, in Southern Rhodesia, where she contracted a cold and malaria, which proved fatal. She is survived by her husband and six children. Mrs R. H. Starkey (wife of the former City Treasurer of Kimberley), and Mrs C. G. Job, her two daughters, are residing at the Cape and Malmesbury respectively, and her two sons Joe and Fred Hicks are still in Kimberley. Her son George is at Worcester. Her youngest daughter, Mrs I.
