In Response To: pickins (joyce O'Bannon)

Parents of Warren Pickens were John Henry Pickens and Nancy Melvina (Estabrooks) Pickens.

John Henry Pickens
Born: October 24, 1839 - New York
Died: April 7, 1909 - Irvington, Kossuth, Iowa

April 16, 1909
Algona Courier - Algona, Iowa

J. H. Pickens of Irvington died last week and was buried in the Humboldt cemetery, near which place he lived before coming to Kossuth county. He was about 70 years of age.

Nancy Melvina (Estabrooks) Pickens
Born: February 11, 1834 - New York
Died: September 10, 1903 -- Irvington, Kossuth County, Iowa

September 16, 1903
Algona Upper Des Moines - Algona, Iowa

Mrs. J. H. Pickens passed away Thursday morning Sept. 10th at four o'clock at her home northeast of Irvington. Mrs. Pickens had been in poor health for some time. Since the death of her daughter July 29th, she had been in poor spirits and sank gradually away. In the death of Mrs. Pickens the community loses one whose character was above reproach or prejudice, whose kindness of heart made her a silent but powerful factor for good. In the home she was an ideal mother and helpmate and until saddened by the untimely death of her daughter she beamed cheer and helpfulness on all who came in contact with her. She was a member of the Disciple church. To the family such a memory of so grand a life brings at this hour when the shadows of grief are so deep the solace of sweet consolation, and it will continue in all the years to come blessing and guiding them forever.

Her maiden name was Nancy Melvina Estabrooks, born in New York, Feb. 11, 1834. She was married to J. H. Pickens, Nov. 7th 1858 and came to Iowa in 1864. She is survived by her husband and four children. Rev. D. L. Moffett preached the funeral sermon at the Irvington church Friday afternoon and the remains were taken to Livermore for interment.

John Henry Pickens was the son of John Pickens
[October 20, 1800 in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts --- November 13, 1869 in Bristol, Kenosha, Wisconsin] and Dinah Sherman.
