Hickman, John Edward, papers, 1887-1974.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/70709677

Correspondence, newspaper clippings, photographs, speeches, and printed materials document the career of Texas Supreme Court Justice John Edward Hickman. The papers span from 1887 through 1974, with the bulk of the material from 1935-1962. A large amount of professional correspondence and printed materials relate to Hickman's election campaigns. There is also a small quantity of personal correspondence, most of which focuses on Hickman's work as a Sunday school teacher in the Methodist Church and congratulations on his appointment as Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court in 1948. Lena (Petitt) Hickman, Judge Hickman's second wife, wrote editorial comments on correspondence she felt was indicative of her husband's character.
