Chaddock & Hickox, grain and produce dealers on Ellicott street, was established in 1886, by John B. Chaddock
and George W. Hickox. In 1889 they had about 500 acres of seed wheat under cultivation. They are also largely engaged
in raising and handling oats and potatoes, and in buying wool. Mr. Chaddock came to Batavia from Wyoming County
in 1882, and was successfully engaged in the coal business until the present partnership was formed. He is a young
man with good executive abilities, and has established an honorable record in the short period of his residence
in Batavia. George W. Hickox was born in Orleans County in 1848, but his parents, Edwin and Caroline (Smith) Hickox,
moved to Alexander in 1850, where they still reside. George W. was reared on the farm, and continued that business
until 1882, when he engaged in selling agricultural implements. Two years later he became a resident of Batavia
and engaged in his present trade. The firm has been very successful and will extend their business to meet their
growing trade. Mr. Hickox married, in 1877, Miss Sarah Dean, daughter of Rev. D. S. Dean, a Baptist clergyman of
Rochester. Three children have been born to them, viz.: Edwin Dear, Raymond V., and Ethel May.
