SAMUEL WILLIAM HICKMAN, son of Joshua Hickman and Betsey Camp.
Note: The following bio taken from the "Spiro Graphic" written in 1986 by Maud Helene Skinner.
"Last Wednesday at the Nutrition Center luncheon the patrons expressed what things they were thankful for. In addition for being grateful for being able to enjoy the companionship of others, the majority who spoke mentioned their certainty of being saved, and of eternal life. Eighty nine year old Sam Hickman gave a testimonial of his experience with spiritual healing. While working for a pipeline he suffered a broken leg and ankel, his physician said Sam would be crippled for life, and would always have to use crutches.
He was living at the time with a very devout sister who sang joyful gospel songs as she did her housework. Sam had not been going to church regularly, and was surprised when his sister asked if he'd like to be healed. He agreed for her to write to two itinerant men who were circuit riders. Sam's father had been a Baptist minister who had died early in Sam's life. His sister Nancy McCasson had talked to him about his parents. The traveling deacon was a black man Lidie Mayberry, and the preacher a white man John Birch who lived at Calhoun. One morning shortly after the sister had written for Sam's healing he woke to the sound of Nancy singing Amazing Grace. He found he could walk into the dining room unaided. His sister shouted, grabben him and spun him around joyously. Sam said he's enjoyed good health ever since.
Sam's father Joshua Hickman came on the Trail of Tears with the Mississippi Choctaws and settled at Heavener where he married Betsy Camp. Joshua's sister Tab married Joe Heavener. Tab's son by her first husband was Dave Ward. Sam is also related to the Oliver Crawford family. Dave Ward's son "Red" still lives at Heavener. Sam had two sisters, Emma and Nancy, much older that Atchison who is now 91 and who lives in Talihina, and Sam who is 89.
Sam lived in Nancy's home until 1918 when he was involved in World War One, and stationed in the medical division at Newport News, Va. when Armistice Day came. He was married in 1919 to Ada Freeman of Stapp. They lived in Healdton where Sam was in the pipe line division of Lone Star Gas Company. They had two children Jack Carlyle and Keith. Jack volunteered and was killed in World War Two.
Sam's second wife was Mary Robinson of Booneville, Ark. He worked at the Indian Hospital in Talihina for several years. Their children are Otema, Samuel, Helen, Mark, Rebecca, Donna Lee and Archie are typical Americans. They live in the states ranging from Oklahoma to California. Sam has been retired for some time. He enjoys his life in Spiro, and is always joking with the waitresses and friend at the Nutrition Center. He is a clean cut gentleman with a spring in his step, and his appearance would do credit to a man of 50 years".

Stephens---------Information came to me in 1981 that Sam Hickman and Ada Freeman had the following children: (1) Jack, born 1920, married Sissy______, and had two children, names unknown at that time.
