Obituary - Indianapolis Star - Feb 9, 1944
Samuel Owen Pickens THE DEATH of Mr. Pickens, the oldest member of our church, brings sadness to us but not grief, for it meant rest and peace after long suffering. Mr. Pickens would have been ninety-nine years old in April. Until deafness prevented his hearing he was to be found in his pew each Sunday morning. At the services, Dr. Wicks spoke of him as having achieved eminence in his profession.
He had all the qualities that make for respect and regard. He was a gentleman in the finest sense of the word. Courtesy, consideration, unselfishness, helpfulness marked his character. Mr. Pickens was brought up in the Baptist church and for the last twenty years has been a member of All Souls
