CHAPTER XII.
C.C. HICOK.
Clarence C. is the son of Hon. John J. Hicok, born at Marysville, this State, November 14, 1854. Two years later his parents moved to Grand Island, where he has spent the greater portion of his life. After receiving a common-school education, he took a course at Heald's Business College, in 1873. Upon his return he worked in C.J. Diefendorff's store, at Grand Island. July 29, 1874, he was married to Miss Cora Agnew. He then engaged in farming for himself on Grand Island, his capital at that time consisting of but two honest hands and a willing heart. "Fortune favors the brave," and Mr. Hicok gradually accumulated of this world's goods, and is now in very comfortable circumstances. In August, 1890, owing to poor health, he moved from his farm to Colusa, engaging in the grain and real-estate business. In politics he is a Republican, and takes a leading interest in politics. He was his party's candidate for County Assessor at the last election, and received a handsome vote.
On July 19, 1889, Mr. Hicok met with a sore affliction in the death of his wife, an estimable woman, who was the mother of his three children, two sons and one daughter.
