Hello, I was sent this about my family member in a Barron Co. Book. The second store to be opened in the village was that of Webb & Wickenburg, the partners being Herbert Webb and Frank C. Wickenburg. About 1885 Mr. Wickenburg bought out his partner and conducted business alone until the following year, when his store took fire and burned down. J, H. Bunker, who was then working for Mr. Wickenburg and was also town clerk, kept the township records in the store and they were destroyed in the fire. Turtle Lake and Almena were then one township. The next year Mr. Wickenburg and Mr. Bunker became partners and so remained for fifteen years subsequently. Mr. Wickenburg built the store now occupied by A. O. Blix, though the building has since been enlarged. Anyone know anything else about this Wickenberg? Thanks, Greg
