Hickson's Mission
[Reference: Hickson's Mission is mentioned in the first
Mayo Clinic letter (No.6).]
Hickson appears to have been a "faith healer"
in the early 1920s. The most reliable reference I can find is from
the Christchurch
Library site stating that in 1923 (sometime) he drew crowds of
"thousands to Christchurch Cathedral". I assume he also went to
(or came from) Australia that year.
There is also reference
to a Frederick S Hixon of the Dayton Gospel Mission who was the preacher
in Dayton from 1922 to 1945.
