Served in the Mexican and Civil Wars. History of Hardin County, Iowa Springfield, Ill: Union Publishing Company, 1883. Clay Township Asel Wickham, of Clay township, died suddenly Friday, March 26, 1880. While sitting at his loom, weaving, he dropped over dead. Dr. Lowe held an autopsy, and a piece of rib was revealed, having been broken during the war, and, by some misplacement later in life, had entered the heart, causing death. He was a native of Ohio, serving as a dragoon all through the Mexican war, and received for services a patent to 600 acres of land in Texas. Though past fifty when the Rebellion began, he was fired with patriotism, and enlisted in the 12th Iowa. At Shiloh he was captured, and finally brought up in Libby Prison, where he was a captive eighteen months. During a futile attempt to escape, he received a blow from the butt end of a musket, which broke the rib which ultimately caused his death.
