Inscription. Addison Hicken, a farmer and cattleman, settled in Heber City, Utah, in 1860, becoming a vital contributor to the local economy. He operated a dairy farm with over 50 cows, supplying butter and beef to nearby mining towns like Park City. Addison later expanded into the cattle business, co-owning a successful meat market with his brother, John. His wife, Sophia, was a dedicated community leader, serving in the Relief Society and Primary, and offering care and support to those in need. Together, Addison and Sophia exemplified hard work and service, leaving a lasting legacy in Heber Valley through their contributions to its economy, community, and development.
