Fremont Vickery, farmer and stock-raiser, Dwight, was born in Vienna Township, 
this county, in 1856. His father, John Vickery, moved to the subject's present 
farm when Fremont was two years old. Here they lived for about thirteen years, 
and then moved to Livingston County, where the father still lives. Mr. Vickery 
was married, in January, 1877, in Lee County, to Miss Nettie Johnson, a 
daughter of Rev. William Johnson, a Presbyterian minister, who was born in 
Edinburgh, Scotland. Mrs. Vickery was born in Lee County. Mr. and Mrs. Vickery 
have one child - Paul. Mr. Vickery received his education in the common

consists of 355 acres. Raising stock and feeding sheep, hogs and cattle is his 
main business. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and also, with his
