George F. Sickman, a well-known resident of Liscomb township, residing one and three-quarters miles northeast of Liscomb, died Sunday morning at 6:20 o’clock of softening of the brain, caused by spinal trouble. Mr. Sickman had been ill since last summer, but only during the past two weeks had been bedfast. Mr. Sickman was born in Indiana on April 24, 1865. He came to this county about five years later and had resided here since. He is survived by a wife and four children – Messrs. Lee and Jay and Misses Alice and Dora Sickman. A brother, Sherman Sickman, also survives him, living one and one-half miles southeast of Liscomb, as do two sisters, one a resident of Ohio and the other of Indiana. Pending word from the latter the funeral arrangements have not yet been made. Mr. Sickman was a member of the Liscomb Odd Fellows and Woodmen Camp.
