He is survived by a brother Joe HICKENBOTTOM and a sister Mary BROSTROM, both of Fairfield. Fifteen grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren, 10 step great-grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren are also living.

Memorials may be made to either the long term care unit of Jefferson County Hospital or to the Heart Fund.

HICKENBOTTOM was the subject of a series of eight articles in the Ledger in the summer of 1976 in which he discussed sweeping technological changes he had seen in his lifetime and related interesting stories about Jefferson County history.
