Zickrick, Royal E. (page 650), proprietor of a farm in Highland Township,
was born in St. Charles, Winona County, Minn., son of Edward W. and Hattie
(Biers) Zickrick. The father was a native of Wisconsin and the mother of
Ohio. They came to Minnesota when young, were subsequently married in
Olmsted County, and in 1910 settled on a farm in Highland Township,
Wabasha county, having farmed for some years in the neighboring county of
Winona, in the vicinity of St. Charles. It was in Winona county that their
son Royal was reared to manhood, acquiring his education in the district
school and in the high school of St. Charles, where he was graduated in
1901. After that he worked on the home farm for one year, and then, at the
age of 21, went farming with his brother Silas, with whom he was
associated for three years. Desirous of improving his education, he took a
course at Mankato Business College, after which he was employed for two
years at Madelia. Later, after working a short time for H. L. Reiter, he
returned to farming and was thus employed for four years at West Concord.
He subsequently followed the same occupation for three years at Pine
island, and came too his present farm in section 14, Highland Township.
The farm has an area of 200 acres, with adequate buildings, and Mr.
Zickrick is profitably carrying on general farming, raising graded cattle
and Poland China hogs, besides doing some dairying. He is fraternally
affiliated with the Modern Woodmen of America. Mr. Zickrick was married at
Red Wing, Minn., June 23, 1909, to Florence R. Cook, daughter of George H.
and Ella (Corson) Cook. Her father was a native of Dumont, Iowa, and her
mother of Minnesota. The former was for some time a merchant in Red Wing
and is now operating a general store at New Hampton, Iowa. Mr. and Mrs.
Zickrick are the parents of four children: Lark M., born June 28, 1910;
Janette E., born July 7, 1912; Dorothy M., born December 20, 1914; and
Cyril F., born July 25, 1918, all residing at home.
