PHONOGRAPH (Colby, Wis.) 07/12/1917 Wicker, Adelaide
A. (11 Jan 1832 - 1 Jul 1917) In the death of
Mrs. Adelaide A. Wicker, which occurred Sunday night July 1, 1917,
the community lost one who has always had the respect and esteem of
all. Our little city (Colby, Wis.) and its hospitable people ever
held a warm corner in her heart, and it was here that the best days
of her life were spent. Her Christian life was beautiful from its
beginning to its close and through all the vicissitudes and sorrows
that she met in the way her kindness and smile for all was always
apparent. After a long and useful life she died as she had lived,
honored, trusted and loved. Adelaide Asenath
Ives was born in Chenango, Co., N.Y., Jan. 11, 1832, which makes
her age at the time of her death 85 years, 5 months and 20 days.
Her young girlhood was spent in New York and Connecticut. On Aug.
7, 1857, she was united in marriage to James D. Wicker, who
preceded her to the grave on Feb. 6, 1897. Immediately after their
marriage they came west to Horicon, Wis., where they lived for
about one year, returning to New York and residing in Williambsurg
(now Brooklyn) and Tarrytown. In 1872 they removed to Iowa, where
they remained for about one year. In the fall of 1874 they moved to
Wisconsin to a homestead in the town of Hull, Marathon, Co.,
removing to this city eleven years later, which has been her home
ever since. She was the mother
of six children, three of who are still living, Mrs. J. C. Enright
of St. Paul, Howard Wicker of Parrish, Wis., and E. L. Wicker of
this city. Besides her immediate family she is survived by eight
grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. The funeral was
held from the M. E. Church in this city Tuesday afternoon, July 3,
Rev. A. L. Scherry of the Reformed Church, officiating. The W. R.
C., of which the deceased was a charter member, attended in a
body. Those from out of
town attending the funeral were Mrs. J. C. Enright of St. Paul and
Howard Wicker of Parrish. © Every submission is protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
