Yonkers did have horse racing in that era, so maybe someone got confused about the location in retelling the story - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yonkers_Raceway_%26_Empire_City_Casino

There are some Hickeys, including a Simon, on the naturalization index in Westchester Co. - https://archives.westchestergov.com/browse-all-online-indexes-main/naturalizations-index

Brooklyn City Directories for 1885, 1886, 1887
no Simon Hickey

The 1905 New York state census has Anna McCormack, daughter Mary McCormack, and brother Simon Hicky at 258 New Main, Yonkers, but I don't see Simon the father.  The census date was June 1st, so maybe Simon had died before then. 

There is a New York state death index online, but unfortunately Yonkers was one of a few cities in NY to hold its own vital records until 1914.  If the death occurred in Yonkers, it wouldn't be on that index.  There is a Simon Hickey who died in 1906 in Lima on that index, but it looks like he was a different guy.

findagrave said the man who died in Lima NY was born in the 1820's.

Letters of administration for the estate of Simon Hickey were given to Thomas Hickey in Oct. 1912 - http://www.rootschat.com/links/01oyr/

There are various entries in the Supreme Court calendar from 1903-1904 for a case entitled Hickey vs. Yonkers R.R., such as this one - http://www.rootschat.com/links/01oys/  Not sure if it's one of your Hickeys or not.

This article about the younger Simon's death says his body was taken to the home of his sister-in-law Mrs. Patrick Hickey at 14 Centre Street, Yonkers, where he lived.  http://www.rootschat.com/links/01oyt/

This is amazing!

I remember my cousins told me that a son and his father had been hit by cars or trains. So this definitely lines up with what I have been told!

I am SO grateful and in awe that so many of you would take time out of your days to help me. I am truly humbled. Thank you so very much!
