Zickrick, Arnum (page 526), a recent arrival among the agricultural
population of West Albany Township, was born near St. Charles, Winona
County, Minnesota, December 4, 1891, son of Edward W. and Harriet (Biers)
Zickrick. The father was a native of Lamira, Dodge County, Wis., born in
1851, the son of Michael and Gustina Zickrick, who came from Germany to
the United States in 1848, settling first near Milwaukee, and later at
Lamira on land now within the city limits, which they bought and farmed.
In 1864 the family moved to Elba Township, Winona County, Minn., Mr. and
Mrs. Michael Zickrick taking a farm of 200 acres on the township line,
near St. Charles, to which place they moved in about five years after,
Michael being engaged in the manufacture of brick there until his death in
1888. Edward Zickrick spent the first thirteen years of his boyhood in
Wisconsin, and subsequently followed his parents' fortunes until he came
to Wabasha County in 1909, when he bought the farm of 160 acres in
sections 12 and 13, Highland Township, on which he has since lived, though
since the fall of 1919 he has been retired. His marriage to Harriet Biers
occurred July 18, 1878. Arnum, who was the youngest of his parents' four
children, was educated in the common school, which he attended up to the
eighth grade, and in the Dover High School, where he was a student for one
year. Trained to agricultural work, as a youth he aided his father, and
from 1913 to 1919 operated the home farm in Highland Township; also,
during the three last years of that period he operated with it the Mrs.
Bertha McNallan farm of 200 acres. In the fall of 1919 Mr. Zickrick bought
his present farm, known as the Carl Moechnig farm, containing 240 acres,
and located in sections 22 and 27, West Albany. It is well improved, being
provided with a good residence, steam-heated and gas-lighted, two good
barns, two corn-cribs, a machine-shed, hog house, tool shed, thresher shed
and poultry house, all substantial buildings and in good condition. Mr.
Zickrick has 195 acres of his land under the plow, and is doing general
farming, his farm being well stocked with grade Shorthorn cattle and
Poland-China hogs. His operating equipment includes six work horses, and
he also owns a Chevrolet touring car. He is admirably provided with
everything necessary to carry on a successful farming business, and his
practical experience and industry are guarantees of success. Mr. Zickrick
was married June 12, 1917, to Caroline Sass, daughter of Frederick A. and
Amelie J. Sass, of West Albany Township. He and his wife are the parents
of one child, Geneva Florine, who was born April 13, 1918. The family are
affiliated with the West Albany M. E. church. Mr. Zickrick is also a
member of the Masonic lodge at Kellogg, which he served as junior and
senior warden. He is also a 32nd degree Mason of Winona lodge. Politically
he is a Republican.
