| ORIGINAL COURTHOUSE- This is a faded picture of the courthouse as it appeared in 1934 with the cupola still on top. The Texas Historical Commission is providing a grant for renovation of the courthouse, but as part of the grant requirement, the cupola must be replaced. The cupola was only in place for a short period of time and few residents have any memory of it. The first phase of the courthouse renovation is expected to start this summer, which will include the cupola. |
The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department received a call at 11:13 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 26 reporting the accident. Sheriff’s Deputy Sgt. Alan Kirkland responded with Hamilton County EMS, Hamilton Volunteer Fire Department and the Pottsville Fire Department.
Kirkland reported that upon arriving at the location, Vick was found trapped under his overturned tractor. Emergency Services personnel determined that he was deceased.
At 1 p.m. Judge James Lively, Justice of the Peace Precinct 1, pronounced Vick dead at the scene of the accident. The cause of the accident was still under investigation.
Funeral services were held Saturday at Riley Funeral Home in Hamilton. A complete obituary is included in this week’s newspaper.
