'''Lorena Alice Hickok''' (1893-1968), alleged lesbian lover of Eleanor Roosevelt. Lorena was born [[Mar 7]], 1893 in Grant County, [[Wisconsin]], the daughter and eldest child of Addison J Hickok (1864-1932) and his wife Anna Adelsa Waite (1870-1906). Addison and Anna had married April 1891 in Elkhorn, Walworth County, Wisconsin. Her mother died [[Sep 16]], 1906 in Bowdle, [[South Dakota]] of a stroke, leaving her husband and three daughters: Lorena, Ruby and Myrtle. Doris Faber prints in her book, the obituary of Anna (Waite) Hickok from the Sep 20 issue of the Bowdle ''Pioneer''. About fifteen months later, on [[Jan 1]], 1908, her father Addison married again to Emma Flashman in Brown County, South Dakota. She died [[May 1]], 1968, age seventy-five. ==Primary documents== *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?rank=0&tips=0&gsfn=&gsln=Hickok&sx=&f6Day=&f6Month=&f6Year=&f7=&gskw=&prox=1&f6=++&db=wibirth1820&ti=0&ti.si=0&gl=&gss=rfs&gst=&so=3 Wisconsin Births 1820-1907] showing "Alice L Hickok, born Mar 7, 1893 Grant County, Wisconsin but also interestingly Lorene H Hickok, born Mar 9, 1891, Grant County, Wisconsin *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&rank=0&gsfn=&gsln=hickok&sx=y&rg_81004011__date=&rs_81004011__date=0&f18=&f16=&f20=&f29=&f31=Walworth&f32=&f24=&f26=&gskw=&prox=1&db=wistatecen&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&fh=0&recid=985277&recoff=3+16 1895 State Census of Wisconsin] showing "A J Hickock in Troy, Walworth County, Wisconsin; 2 males, 2 females, 3 natives of US, 1 native of Germany" *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=wibirth1820&so=2&rank=0&tips=0&gsfn=Ruby&gsln=Hickok&sx=&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&sbor=&ufr=0&wp=4%3b_80000002%3b_80000003&srchb=r&prox=1&db=&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-b&o_iid=21416&o_lid=21416&o_it=21416 Wisconsin Births 1820-1907] showing "Ruby A Hickok, born Sep 24, 1896, Walworth County, Wisconsin *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&rank=0&gsfn=&gsln=Hicock&sx=y&f19=&f20=&f21=&f14=Wisconsin&rg_81004011__date=1893&rs_81004011__date=2&f16=&f9=&f10=&_8000C002=&_80008002=&_80018002=&f23=&f22=&gskw=&prox=1&db=1900usfedcen&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&fh=167&recid=75476393&recoff=3+18+19&fsk=CIAAHbIEeigo&bsk=&pgoff= 1900 Census of Elkhorn, Walworth County, Wisconsin] showing "Aaron J Hickock, Dec 1860, New York, Teamster; Ama Adelia Hickock, 38, New York; Alice Lorena Hickock 7, Wisconsin; Ruby A Hickock 3; Myrtle M Hickock 2; Matilda B Wait 66, mother-in-law, New York". Although Ancestry.com has his name indexed as "Aaron", viewing the actual image shows writing overlaying his name making it hard to read. It could very well be "Adison" to my eye. *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=SD_marr_cert%2c&rank=0&tips=0&gsfn=Addison&gsln=Hickok&sx=&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&sbor=&ufr=0&wp=4%3b_80000002%3b_80000003&srchb=r&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&o_iid=21416&o_lid=21416&o_it=21416&fh=1&recid=205632&recoff=1+2 South Dakota Marriages 1905-1949] showing "Addison Hickok of Aberdeen, Brown County, 44, American, widower to Emma Flashman of Aberdeen, Brown County, 37, Divorced; by J W Taylor, Minster, of Aberdeen Jan 1, 1908" (ancestry incorrectly indexed this marriage as occurring in 1907). *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&rank=0&gsfn=&gsln=Hicock&sx=&f7=&f9=&f10=&f18=&f20=New+York&rg_81004011__date=1863&rs_81004011__date=2&f23=&f17=&f16=&rg_f19__date=&rs_f19__date=0&_8000C002=&f21=&_80008002=&f22=&_80018002=&gskw=&prox=1&db=1910uscenindex&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&fh=1&recid=78128644&recoff=3+16+31+32+33+34 1910 Census of Redfield, Spink County, South Dakota] showing "Adison J Hicock, 47, New York, married" (but no wife listed with him). *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&rank=0&db=1910USCenIndex%2c&tips=0&gsfn=Ruby&gsln=Hickock&sx=y&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&sbor=&ufr=0&wp=4%3b_80000002%3b_80000003&srchb=r&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&o_iid=21416&o_lid=21416&o_it=21416&gss=angs-d&fh=114&recid=91574021&recoff=1+2&fsk=CIAAHswE8-47-gQ&bsk=&pgoff= 1910 Census of Delavan, Walworth County, Wisconsin] showing Ruby and Myrtle Hickok living with W C Waite 58 and his wife Esther 46 and their five children. *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=1920usfedcen%2c&rank=0&tips=0&gsfn=Adison&gsln=Hickok&sx=&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&sbor=&ufr=0&wp=4%3b_80000002%3b_80000003&srchb=r&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&o_iid=21416&o_lid=21416&o_it=21416&fh=0&recid=89694801&recoff=14+16 1920 Census of Newark, Marshall County, South Dakota] showing "Adison J Hickok, 58, born New York; Fannie, wife, 54, born Iowa" *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=SDdeaths%2c&rank=0&tips=0&gsfn=Addison&gsln=Hickok&sx=&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&sbor=&ufr=0&wp=4%3b_80000002%3b_80000003&srchb=r&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&o_iid=21416&o_lid=21416&o_it=21416&fh=0&recid=121378&recoff=7+9 South Dakota Death Index, 1905-55] Showing "Addison J Hickok, died Oct 7, 1932 in Brown County". ==Secondary Sources== ''The Life of Lorena Hickok, E.R.'s Friend'', by Doris Faber.
