T. Richard Hicks
October 21, 1917-April 18, 2011
May 4, 2011
HAMPTON—Richard Hicks, 93,
of Hampton, died on Monday, April 18, 2011, at the
Rehabilitation Center of Hampton.
Funeral services were held
on Saturday, April 23, at the Morgan United Methodist Church
near Dows. Pastor Erling Schultz and Pastor Ed Bard
officiated. Burial took place in the Morgan Church Cemetery.
Memorials may be made in T. Richard Hicks' name. The Dugger
Funeral Home in Dows, was in charge of the arrangements.
T. Richard Hicks, was born
on the family farm in Hamilton Township, Franklin County, to
Samuel and Jennie Truman Hicks on October 21, 1917. He
attended country school a half mile from his home. This
little country school is now on Grandpa's Farm at the
fairgrounds in Hampton. Richard graduated from the Hampton
High School in 1935. He stayed home to work for one year and
then enrolled at Ellsworth College for a year before he
transferred to Iowa State College, where he graduated in
animal husbandry in December 1940.
On April 13, 1941, Easter
Sunday, he was united in marriage to Dolores Marie Hackbarth
at her parents' farm in Morgan Township. The newlyweds built
and lived in a little house on the Hicks' family farm for
two and a half years before they moved to Humboldt, where
Richard worked for the Doane Agriculture Service as a farm
manager. After three years, Richard, Dolores and family
returned to his family farm of rural Hampton. To this new
family, four children were born, Thomas, Linda, David and
Patricia. There are 10 grandchildren, five girls and five
boys, all of whom have college degrees and 10
great-grandchildren.
In 1956, after a major
hailstorm destroyed their crops and Richard was severely
burned in a kitchen fire, Richard began work as an adjustor
for Federal Crop Insurance out of St. Paul, Minnesota.
Dolores and family kept the farm operating during his
absence until the summer of 1959. Richard was offered a job
in Washington, D.C., but found the lure of the land was too
inviting and returned to the farm. Richard later worked with
his brother, Llewellyn, forming the business LED Ballast
that was used in tractor tires.
As a young boy, Richard
attended the Pleasant Ridge Church of rural Bradford. When
that church was destroyed, he and his family joined the
Morgan United Methodist Church of rural Dows, where he
remained a member the rest of his life. He was chairman of
the board for years and held most offices within the church.
The Morgan Church is where he met Dolores, his future bride.
Richard loved to travel and meet new people. When
vacationing in the west, he would drive up a long lane to a
ranch house and visit with the owner about how he ranched,
prices of commodities, and land prices. This was often much
to the chagrin of his children! He was always interested in
anything new. One of his favorite trips was to the Holy
Land, with all of the sites and significance of that area.
Richard loved to eat good food and would invite all farm
vendors in for a cookie or dinner. Dolores never knew how
many might sit at their table, but she always seemed to be
prepared with "extra."
Richard was born in his
family home and except for a few years in Humboldt, lived in
this home all of his life. He was a "handy-man" who
remodeled this house many times throughout the years. Most
of the walls have been moved out and new rooms formed. In
December of 2009, he and Dolores moved into the Leahy Grove
Independent and Assisted Living in Hampton, where they
celebrated 70 years of marriage last week on April 13. His
family will always remember their times around the kitchen
table with wonderful food, lively discussions and
conversations with Grandpa!
Richard's parents, brother
Llewellyn and sister Marion preceded him in death.
He is survived by his
wife, Dolores; children, Thomas Hicks (Janis), Linda Ahrens
(Merrill) and David Hicks (Lois), all of rural Hampton, and
Patricia Peterson (Charlie) of Waconia, Minnesota; and
grandchildren, Kim Hicks Jacobsen of Dows, Shelley Ahrens of
Rochester, Minnesota, Ann Hicks of Muncie, Indiana, Cindy
Ahrens Dockter of Rochester, Minnesota, Jennifer Hicks
Lohrbach of Ames, Paul Peterson of Kansas City, Kansas,
James Hicks of Roseville, California, Craig Peterson of
Kansas City, Missouri, Jon Hicks of Cumming and Scott
Peterson of Kansas City, Kansas. Richard also has 10
great-grandchildren and nieces and nephews.
