Isham Kimbell Hicks (February 20, 1881 – June 6, 1966) was an American physician and three-term mayor of Melbourne, Florida from 1933 to 1934 and from 1942 to 1943.[6]
Biography[edit]
He was born on February 20, 1881 in Alabama, the son of Dr. Lanmertine O. Hicks and Mary K. Hicks.[7]
Hicks went to school in Tennessee and Alabama and then interned in Jacksonville, Florida.
On August 3, 1916, he married Grace Hoag.[4]
In 1922, he moved to Melbourne. Hicks built the first private hospital in Melbourne with his partner, Dr. Hay.[when?] In 1937, he helped to open the first public hospital in Melbourne.[citation needed]
During the Second World War, Dr. Hicks was the only doctor in town because other doctors were in military service for the war. He retired from medicine in 1961 and died five years later.[6]
