Letter signed Jno. W. Sickels [John W. Sickels], The Grand Pacific Hotel, Chicago, to Jno. F. Darby [John F. Darby], No. 517 ½ Chestnut St., St. Louis, Mo. Sickels has been endeavoring in vain to ascertain something definite about the family of Mrs. Hills nee Anna E. King. The father was gored by a steer in St. Louis and died a few days later subsequent to 1850. He may have been treated by a Dr. Johnson, who may have married a Lucas daughter. Mrs. King said she once worked as a serving girl in the Ewing family; he thinks the family lived in a mansion on Olive between 11th and 12th. The estate is worth $30,000. Perhaps Erastus Wells might remember the father’s death, as he knew many livestock men. [filed in 1881 Dec-1882 Jan], 1882 Jan 16
