Hi Bliss:
Thanks. I¹ll remove the ³note² from the bottom of her obit.
³Evelyn² is a name so seldom used for a male. Perhaps his parents were
hoping for a girl?
Do you know if Bertha¹s father was the same James Isaac Hicks from Centre
Village, (?) who married Nettie Hannah on 6 Apr 1904, Methodist, Canaan?
Also, is this the same Lionel Hicks who married Georgie Bird, d/o Lorne L.
Bird and Nellie B. Hannah?
Thanks.
Dave
