The last photo taken of the Ted and Dora
Hickman family together
Ted Hickman was a farmer in Ermelo.
In 1890 he was poundmaster at Hlomo Hlom on the Komati River near Barberton
where my grandfather Vivian Leslie Hickman was born.
In 1894 he was merchant of Volksrust.
Woodton Estate
About 1898 Edward moved to Woodton Estate the Halfway House postcart
change point between Johannesburg and Pretoria, where his guests included
such Great men in South African history such as Presidents, Paul Krüger,
Jan Smuts
and Louis Botha. He is said to have planted the gum trees lining the old
Johannesburg-Pretoria main road (R101).
He fought on the ZAR side in the Anglo-Boer War. In 1901 was at the
Imperial Relief and Government Stores in Johannesburg.
In 1913 he moved to Greytown, Natal, where he was a freelance timber
factor. Went insolvent in 1919 because of tickbite fever and foreclosure
by transport contractor "Pofadder" Cadle. He then acted as timber and brak
buyer for Theo Schloss & Co of Durban.
I have a lot more information including
many photos on my great grandfather Ted Hickman that I will add later
