Letter from Warrenton.
  Warrenton, Mo., April 7, 1884.
Ed. Tribune. – Dear Sir:  After a residence of forty years in Clay county on 
their farm, a part of which was entered as government land, my parents have 
left the dear old home and come here to rest, and, as I trust, to enjoy 
a “green old age.”
  William Frick, Sr., was born in Germany in 1810, came to America in 1839, and 
will be 74 years old tomorrow.  My mother was born in Ohio, and her father, 
David Hoblit, was an early settler in Clinton county, Mo.  He afterwards 
removed to Worth county, where he died at the age of 84 years.  Born in 
Philadelphia, in 1787, the year the constitution was made, he was a soldier to 
defend it in the war of 1812.  My mother’s maternal grandfather was a nephew of 
James Wilson, of Pennsylvania, who signed the Declaration of Independence.
  My father leaves two brothers, Henry and Nicholas Frick, and one sister, Mrs. 
Charles Faller, in old Clay, besides many friends.  We shall, therefore, 
welcome the weekly visits of the Tribune.
