Wickham Dead _______ Windsor Pioneer Passes Last Wednesday At 84,From Age Infirmities _______ John Wickham a pioneer of Windsor township,died at 1 o'clock last Wednesday morning at the home of his daughter-in-law,Mrs. Will Wickham,halfway between West Union and Hawkeye.He was past eighty-four years old,and his death resulted in infirmities of age.He had been a Fayette county resident ever since he was a small child. John Wickham,son of Reuben and Ellen Wickham,was born in Newcomerstown,Ohio,March 11,1844.When four years of age he came with his parents to Iowa and settled in Linn county,the trip being made in a covered wagon.A little later his parents moved on a farm about six miles north of Hawkeye.Being the oldest son of a family of ten children,the responsibility fell upon him of taking care of the family and farm while his father answered the summons to the colors during the Civil War. He was united in marriage to Emma Williams on October 13,1867,and became the father of six children,five of whom survive him.His son Will was killed in an accident about a year and a half ago.His surviving children are Mrs.Ed Miller of Bethel township,Almon Wickham of Auburn township,Frank Wickham of Windsor township,John wickham of West Union,and Mrs. Willis Fuller of Waukon.Mr. Wickham's wife died on September 4,1885. In 1914 he took a definite stand for Christ by joining the Seventh Day Adventist church. He was not loud in his profession,but his life was lived a great deal to himself. He had been battling for months the odds of old age,with complications of dropsy,from which cause he died on December 21,1927,at the age of eighty-three years,nine months,and ten days. Grandpa Wickham's life is lived.His hands are folded in the sleep of death,where he awaits the call of the life giver."Blessed and holy are they who have part in the first resurection".The funeral was held Friday at the Methodist church in Hawkeye,and burial was made in Oak Lawn cemetery,near Hawkeye.The services were held by Elder R.F.
