The Evening Star, August 16, 1906, p. 16 Aged Resident Dead Judge George Hickenlooper Victim of Cancer

Judge George Hickenlooper, living at 1209 Kenyon street northwest, died this morning at 12;25 o'clock from cancer of the liver, at the age of eighty years. For several months past he has been rapidly failing, and consequently his death was not unexpected.

Judge Hickenlooper was for thirty-five years a clerk in the office of the paymaster general in the War Department, and during his residence in this city he made many friends among whom the news of his death will cause great regret. In all his dealings he was known as an upright, straightforward and just man, and he had won the esteem of all with whom he came in contact.

Judge Hickenlooper was born August 8, 1826, in Pennsylvania, and was reared in the east, attending a law school in the last years of his boyhood. Just before the war he went to St. Louis, and enlisted in the Union army from that city. He served in the war for three years, securing much credit by his faithful service. After the war he went to Albia, Iowa, where he became the editor of the Albia Union, which position he held for many years. He practiced law there, and became a county judge, serving several years.

Judge Hickenlooper was a brother of Gen. Andrew Hickenlooper of Cincinnati. He was actively identified with the G.A.R. for many years. One daughter, Mrs. Frank A. Sebring, wife of the financial clerk of the Police Court, and one son, Carlos, of St. Louis, survive him. His wife died about twenty-five years ago, and he has made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Sebring most of the time since
