Posted on: Clark Co. Wi Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/Clark/10468 Surname: WILCOX, WALKER, MUMBRUE, HAYWARD, PALMER ------------------------- Many thanks to Janet for posting all the information she has on the Clark Co. site. This week I found my g-g-g-grandfather's obit thanks to her. Lewis Henry WILCOX has been a circuitous trail to follow. The local paper where he was buried in Dec. 1907 (Price Co.) listed that he died in Waupaca. After searching in Waupaca for a death certificate, I found a small reference in the paper there that he had died in Fairchild (Eau Claire Co.). After going to courthouse and not finding a death certificate, I sent to the state. From them I received the death certificate for Clark Co. In searching the site, I found his obit, thanks to the posting by Janet in Dec. 2000. Lewis Henry WILCOX was born in 1842 in New York, was in the Civil War for 4 years (they are still searching for his pension records for me), came home and married the sister of a fellow soldier, Anna HAYWARD, of Waupaca Co. They had 4 children and then moved to Price Co. WI where they were on the first train crossing the bridge into Park Falls. They were pioneer settlers of that community having claimed 160 acres under a patent. After moving to Fifield, WI, Lewis left home and moved to the Eau Claire area to work with a lumber company. Anna filed for divorce after 7 years, a fact that had not been passed down in family history. Thus the search for Lewis has been confusing. I am now looking for any family in the WILCOX line. It seems there are other WILCOX descendents out there. Lewis' parents were Charles Winthrop and Emily (PALMER) WILCOX. Marilyn Steben
