----------------------------------------
By request of the family, I will try in my weakness and by help of God write an obituary of a beloved Brother, in the Lord, to wit Brother Alfred Hicks. He was born May 15, 1883, in Knott County, Kentucky and deceased this life November 26, 1961, being 77 years, 5 months and 11 days old. He was the son of Issac and Matilda Hicks and was first married to Dora Ellen Bolen, in 1902. Unto this union was born 12 children, namely, Elbert, Lawrence, John M, Millard, Millie, Bert, Pollie and Orville, now living and four children preceded in in death. He also had 51 grandchildren and several great grand children and several great-great grandchildren. He leaves one sister, Rosie Moore and one brother, Logan Hicks. Dora Ellen deceased this life in October, 1936, leaving Brother Alfred and her children to mourn her loss, with all the love and devotion his children gave him. As time passed Brother Alfred felt he needed the companionship of a good christian wife. He was then married to Amandie Hicks in 1938 and unto thi union was born one son, Roger. Matters not how dark it may seem or how low the clouds may hang, the rays of Gods Holy Spirit will penatrate the hearts of the son of men. I feel Brother Alfred accepted the enlighted spirit and repented of his sins, had his soul washed white in the blood of the lamb. He joined the Old Stone Coal Church of Jesus Christ in 1910 and lived 51 years of good faithful life, he was a good singer until his sickness deprived him from going to church. On certain ocassions, he would request me and other brethern to come to his home and sing and hold prayer and as always the tears would stream down his blessed face. He was a devoted father and companion and was loved by all who knew him. We sure do miss him, but his loss here, is Heaven's eternal gain. May the writer say to all his blessed children, to live with Brother Alfred again you will have to be born again to enter into that Holy City where I feel Brother Alfred will go, both soul and body, on the blessed Resurrection Day. There are many things I could go on to say, but space would not permit. So good-by, and God Bless you all. His memorial will be preached on the fourth Saturday and Sunday in July 1963, at the Little Maudie Church, in McGuffey, Ohio. Written by his unworthy Brother in the Lord: Elder Claude Ousley.
