C. HICKS, M.D. of Caborn, Ind., was born October 22, 1847, in Kentucky,
son of James and Ann (Reed) Hicks.  James is of English descent, and was
born in North Carolina, in 1820, and followed the life of an 
agriculturist.  He and wife are residents of Kentucky.  Our subject's
literary education was acquired in the common schools and in the 
academy at Cairo, Ky.  At the age of twenty he began the study of 
medicine under Dr. J.T. Bethel, of Pool's Mills, Ky., continuing with him
about a year.  He attended a course of lectures at the University of
Louisville, Ky., during 1870-71, after which he located in Dalton, Ky.,
and began the practice of his profession.  In the fall of 1871 he
returned to Louisville, and graduated from the medical college of that
place in March, 1872.  He then practiced his profession with Dr. Bethel
about a year and then came to Posey County, Ind., and located at Caborn.
September 24, 1873, he was married to Alice Thurman, daughter of Rev.
Elijah and Malissa (Spencer) Thurman.  She was born October 27, 1854,

The Doctor is a Democrat and is considered an efficient physician and
