Hicks Gravestone



Mt. Olivet is the burial place of my maternal grandparents, Nace Hicks, Sr. and Willie Estes Hicks. Keith A. McCoy, a cousin and son of Robertine Charles, is also buried here. Mount Olivet is located at 4000 Norman Mayer Avenue in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The information on this gravestone is incorrect. Nace Hicks was born about 1875 according to the 1880 federal census not 1871. He also died on February 21, 1950, Mardi Gras Day, not February 22, 1950.

I took this picture while attending my aunt's funeral, Gladys Hicks Butler, on August 25, 2012.  Gladys is also buried at Mt Olivet.
