Her middle name also appears as Kaye. Research by Sue Ashby, 968 Diamond Way, Sandy, Utah 84094, ashbysue@comcast.net, provided in April 2008, gave Salina, Utah as the birthplace of Oma Hickman and Salt Lake City as her place of death. The Reich Family Tree on Ancestry.com provides the same information. On 3 August 2014 Charyl Smithiger provided, via http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Smithiger-1, the comment, "Oma Hickman was never in Utah. Lived and died in Missouri".
