HENRY S. WICKWARE, who was born in Leeds County, Canada, June 23, 1849, is a son
of L. P. and Catherine (Mallory) Wickware, both born and reared in Canada, near
the birthplace of our subject. His father was by occupation a farmer and the boy
resided with his parents on the farm until he reached the age of sixteen, having
but scant advantages for schooling previous to that time, and none after he
reached that age. When eighteen years old he came to the United States, locating
at Caro, Mich., and one year later in the fall of 1869 making his home at Cass
City.

  While living in Canada the young man had worked for two years as an apprentice
to a carpenter and builder and after he came to this county he completed
learning his trade working at it until 1885. In 1873 he went into the planing
mill business and in 1875 disposed of his mill. He became financially interested
in the wagon factory of Cass City and since 1885 has been its sole proprietor.

  The 15th of September, 1874, was the marriage day of Henry Wickware and Venie
L. Alvers, of Reese, Tuscola County, and by this union they have two
children-Ora M. and Mark S. In political matters, he is a stanch Republican, and
has been Township Clerk for the past four years and a member of the Village
Council for two years. He ran for County Register of Deeds, and although he had
two strong opponents, he came near attaining his election, notwithstanding.
Besides carrying on his wagon and carriage factory he sells McCormick binders
and mowers and other agricultural implements and machinery and also deals in
vehicles manufactured by others.
