General Notes: Husband - Marshall B. Hickman
He received the usual education afforded by the common schools, and followed farming until the year 1863. In 1857 he became interested in railroad enterprises, and was chosen president in 1860 of the Philadelphia and West Chester Railroad, when the shares of its stock sold for an insignificant sum, and he continued in the position until 1870, when the bonds of the company were above par, largely owing to his control and management. He was, for many years, a director in its board. From 1851 to 1857 he served as a director of the poor, and was twelve years treasurer of the school board in East Bradford, where he lived thirty-seven years, besides holding many other local offices. He was twelve years one of the managers of the County Agricultural Society, sixteen years a director in the Chester County National Bank, eight years a member of the borough council, and later was second burgess. He was president of the West Chester Gas Company, which position he held for seven years or more; a director of the West Chester and Wilmington Plank-road Company; also of the Farmers' Market-House Company, and one of the trustees of the State Normal School.
