Mr. Hickson graduated sixth in position from the University of N.B. in 1880. Subsequently he studied law with Charles A. Stockton and was admitted as an attorney in 1888 and called to the bar in 1889. He practiced law for a short time but gave this up to enter the Episcopal ministry. He attended the General Theological Seminary at Philadelphia. In October 1891 he was ordained a deacon and placed by the Bishop as curate in the parish of Douglas (York Co.). This year he was raised to priesthood and elected rector of the parishes of Douglas and Bright, and the same year he received the degree of M.A. from U.N.B. At Trinity church he had attended worship as a child. It was there he acted as organist and taught in the Sunday school. It was there he was confirmed and soon expected to lead his life partner to the altar. - 'Telegraph'
