The following information came to Mrs. Pitcher from Miss Elizabeth Knapp of Mount Holly, New Jersey. Obituary of Jacob C. Van Wickle: "On Sunday, Nov. 4, 1883 at 4 o'clock p.m. in the 79th year of his age, Jacob C. Van Wickle, a native of New Jersey and a resident of this State (La.) 60 years. His friends and those of his son-in-law, J. W. Devereux, are respectfully invited to attend his funeral, which will take place this afternoon at 4 o'clock from his late residence - 12 Esplanade Street, Corner Dorgenois. (His picture appears in the newspaper at this point.) At the ripe old age of 78, this estimable and well known citizen passed away from earth yesterday evening at 4 o'clock, after a long, exemplary and useful life as a man, a husband, a father and a friend. Modest and retiring in his manner, quiet and gentle in his ways, of strong domestic tastes, Mr. Van Wickle commanded the esteem, respect and confidence of all who knew him. For many years he was a large sugar planter in the parish of Pointe Coupee and owned the plantation now the property of the Hopkins Brothers. He was Sheriff for nine years; represented the parish in the Legislature, and after the war represented the second levee district on the Board of Public Works and superintended the last construction of the Grand, or what is better known as the Morganza levee. In politics Mr. Van Wickle was an old line Whig and a recognized leader of that party in Pointe Coupee. When the question of secession arose he declared himself opposed to it, and ran for the State convention on the co-operation ticket but was defeated. He, however, always doubted the policy of secession and remained true to his convictions as a Union man. But when the State seceded and there was a rally to arms, the kind heart and generosity of "Uncle Jake" as he was familiarly called, exhibited itself in his characteristic unassuming and unostentatious way. As the "boys" called to say "goodbye" to him he would slip into their hands a ten, twenty or fifty dollar note, according to their circumstances, and wish them a safe return, but with a heavy heart, feeling that many of them he would never see again, and foreboding the loss of their cause. Nor did his goodness end here, for the families of these soldiers were afterward the object of his protecting care and generosity. At the close of the war, he came to New Orleans, having suffered severely in loss of property, from the ravages of the Federal army, notwithstanding his well-known loyalty to the Union, and engaged in the cotton press business, leasing from his sister, Mrs. Wood, what is called the Canal Street Press. From that time in uninterrupted connections with his nephew, Jacob Van Wickle (II ?), he conducted this business from 1865 up to the day of his death, to be continued by his trusted associate. At the city election for Mayor in 1868, the conservative element of the Democratic party brought Mr. Van Wickle before the nominating convention, but he was defeated by two votes, lost to him because of his refusal to pledge himself to two appointments. Then when Kellogg was a candidate for the U. S. Senate, Mr. Van Wickle was again solicited to contest the election, and received the vote of the Democratic members of the Legislature. His well known integrity, purity of character and devotion to the interests of the State, secured for him the confidence of political opponents. Mr. Van Wickle was twice married; first to Miss Elezar Ledoux, by whom he had two daughters, the surviving one having married first Mr. O. K. Dunning-- connected with the house of J. B. Burnside--and second to Mr. J. G. Devereux, present cashier of the Hiburnia Bank. His second wife was the Widow Dayries, whose death occurred some two years ago. Mr. Van Wickle was a member of the Board of Directors of the Mutual Bank. Through economy, industry and fair dealing he amassed quite a fortune and the last days of his life were consoled by the consciousness of having performed his part well and that he left only friends to mourn his loss." Jacob Van Wickle, noted above, was the brother of Nicholas Van Wickle of New Jersey, whose family record, also supplied by Miss Knapp, is given below. Note there were two Jacob Van Wickles, uncle and nephew. Record of Nicholas Van Wickle Family: Father - Nicholas Van Wickle born Jan. 7th, 1796; died Oct. 24th 1865.

(Bible dated 1848.) This record was sent to Mrs. Riddle by her cousin, William A. Chaney, and it was copied about 1950. Mrs. Riddle states that Mr. William Chaney thinks that the Bible was in Rosedale at Halcomb Chaney's home, but Mrs. Riddle's mother thinks it was in Greenville; Mrs. Riddle's cousin in Greenville has a Bible but the family pages are missing; the "part that says to my Mother, Sarah McCarroll is still a part of the Bible." Mrs. Riddle further states that: "This record was sent to Holcomb Chaney in Rosedale, Miss. When any of the Rosedale Chaney's lent it to family members to copy they usually added an invitation to make any additions to it they could." (Editor's note: Mrs. Riddle sent two copies of this Bible; one copy was typed and is the one given above; the other was handwritten and varies a bit from the one published here, but for fear of misinterpreting the handwriting, no attempt was made to combine the two copies, both will be placed in files in the State Library, where they may be studied by interested persons. Mrs. Riddle's note continues, and makes reference to a notation in the handwritten copy). "Someone did, apparently, in the note about Robert Chambliss Chaney, but their additions are slightly incorrect. He was supposedly born in or near Lake Providence, Louisiana. He did go to school and graduate from Centenary College in Jackson, Louisiana with a degree in law. He is buried east of the town of Gillett, Arkansas County, Arkansas in Hinman County." (Editor's note: Evidently referring to the handwritten copy, Mrs. Riddle continues) "In writing the record Lee Chaney also left off one child, Mattie Blanche Chaney, born in about 1852. She is a child of Sarah and Jesse Chaney. The author of this record, Mortimer Lee Chaney, was killed by a train in Cairo, Illinois on November 1, 1898. The above corrections must be with the Family Record anytime it is read or copied. I knew from first hand knowledge where he is buried, I have his diploma and his daughter, my grandmother, was told by Col. Robert Chaney and by his mother where he was born. I lived with my grandmother, Beulah Inez Chaney Lowe, from the time I was two years old until I was seventeen." *************************************** HINMAN BIBLE RECORDS The Hinman Bible Records, submitted by Mrs. Beulah Monahan Riddle, Baton Rouge, La.

In 1958 and 1959 she wrote some interesting letters to her newly found cousins, Miss Lilla McLure of Shreveport, La. (of the Rev. Lewis Pipkin - Daniel Griffin Pipkin line) and Lucie C. Price (of the Martin Pipkin line). Lilla McLure had succeeded in locating her through friends and relatives. Betty Baer: "They said Grandpa Barnabas might have lived longer but he just would ride horseback on his gentle old horse, Lucy. He did not come in one day so they hunted for him, found the horse grazing nearby and Grandpa had slipped from saddle and was lying in the water of the small creek on the place. He was chilled. Uncle Wilbur wrapped him in his coat and they put him to bed. At his age he was not able to survive the exposure so after a short time he died. When dying all were around his bed. He seemed to be smiling and looking into the distance and mentioned his wife's name (Elizabeth Hanna). Papa asked him if he felt he was ready to go and he said "Do you think after serving my Master all these years I am not ready to go - of course, I am." Papa and Aunt Anna told this to me. -- Grandpa Barnabas did not preach at Greensburg, La. church. Their plantation was out in western part of St. Helena Parish (near Amite River) and he preached at Darlington, old country church, 12 miles west of Greensburg. -- The Clinton and Pipkin plantations joined so it (the cemetery) is called Clinton-Pipkin cemetery. -- After Aunt May died (Maria, Uncle Louis first wife), he married--Martha Vance Upson.
