Wickam, Civil war veteran and prominent farmer of the Big Tavern, near St. Elizabeth, passed away at his home Friday afternoon at 1:30; rather suddenly. Although very aged, yet able to be up and around until suddenly stricken at noon. Mr. Wickam was born in Pennsylvania, March 25, 1848, being 87 years 10 months and 19 days old at the time of his death. He came to Missour when eight years old, with his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Halsey Wickam, and when the rebellion broke out he enlisted as a private in Co. G. 16th regiment Kansas Volunteers.
