    1. [IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL] Jackson County: Marshal Wickey Narrowly Escaped Death
    2. Randi Richardson
    3. Seymour (IN) Daily Republican, January 11, 1898, p. 4. NOTE: Consider Marshall a spelling variant of Marshal. NARROW ESCAPE Marshal Wickey, a farmer near Mutton Creek, had a narrow escape from drowning Monday. His hogs were in the bottoms along the stream, and the water came up rapidly and he rode in on horseback to get them out. His horse went down in deep water over his head, and the rider pitched over the animal's head and landed in water seven feet deep. Had he not been a good swimmer, he would have found a watery grave. The hogs escaped to high land.
