SUDDEN SUMMONS.
Michael Hickman Dies of Heart Disease at His Home on Eighth Street .

Michael Hickman, one of the pioneers of Red Wing, died of heart disease at his home on Eighth street last evening, being in his 78th year. He was suddenly taken ill shortly after one o'clock , his condition rapidly growing worse until he breathed his last at 6:19 o'clock . Death was as sudden as it was unexpected.

Mr. Hickman was born in Alsace , France , Sept. 5, 18 28 . His parents emigrated to the United States in his infancy, locating in Erie county, N.Y. There were eight boys in the family, all of whom attained manhood and prospered. In his youth Mr. Hickman followed various vocations. In 1855 he went into business in Painesville , Ohio , but shortly after returned to his New York home. About this time the growing fame of Minnesota reached him, and he decided to cast his fortunes with the then rapidly filling territory, arriving in Red Wing April 15, 18 56 . He has consequently resided here only a few months short of half a century.

Mr. Hickman has been identified with various business enterprises in this city, the last of which was the Commercial hotel, from which he retired in 1888. He was the owner at one time and another of a good deal of property, and he has added not a few buildings to the city.

In his younger days he was one of Red Wing's progressive citizens and has always had the confidence and respect of all.

Mr. Hickman married Sophia Wallauer Aug. 9, 18 57 . His wife and three children and two brothers survive him. The children are Mrs. Geo. C. Wellner and Mrs. John Hartnagel of this city and Frank M. Hickman of Worthington , Minn. --Red Wing Republican.
