The following obituary notice was found by his daughter, Mrs. John Young, among his papers and we are glad to publish it as written because we feel he has told the story well.

He was educated in the district school and was a farmer and builder. He was a charter member West Parishville Grange and was its Overseer and Master for several years. In religion he was a Freewill Baptist and was baptized in the Racket River near Willisville when a young man by the Rev. Richard Parks, who was pastor at that time. Mr. Bicknell and his wife worshiped several years and worked in the union church at Hannawa Falls. He was president of the Endeavor Society and superintendent of the Sunday School for several years. He loved the little children and was a friend to the poor. He was also a temperance man, never using liquor or tobacco in any form. He married in 1882 Mary M. Pelton of Madrid, N.Y., who died in 1922. They had one son Ralph who died in 1928. Remaining are one daughter, Bessie B. Young of Black River, and several grandchildren and great grandchildren. Mr. Bicknell was a good husband and father and a good neighbor and a man among men. His word was as good as his hand.
