Hi All, Mary Margaret Nickerson, Stone County Pioneer Midwife , died in 1938 during the depresion. www.rootsweb.com/~mostone/photo/vickers/vickers1.htm Unfortunately, times were tuff and Mary was buried without a tombstone. Mary's grave site was re-discovered as I was tracing my family and corresponding with my new found cousin Dawna Vickers. Dawna is a direct descendent of Mary Nickerson's son, William Albert Nickerson and I am a direct descendent of her daughter, America Francis (Nickerson) White. Together, Dawna and I decided that Mary needed a stone. Her new stone sits right next to her husband Joshua's stone, where she was buried all along, on property they homesteaded from the Bureau of Land Management in 1902. A small portion of this land, at the intersection of hwy 13 and 00, was deeded to Stone County and is now Nickerson Cemetery.

Hooray to you and Dawna!!!
