W. WICKSTRUM DEAD In the last issue of the Modern Woodman paper we noted that among the policies paid was that of J. W. Wickstrum of Texhoma, a former citizen of the Grimes neighborhood. After speaking to Ack Davis about it, he wrote to them for information and he received a letter Monday morning from Adrain Wickstrum stating his father died December 1st, 1923, after six months of suffering from cancer of the stomach. He added "he fought a good fight but had to give up the ship." Mr. Wickstrum was well known by the people of Grimes, having lived there in the early day, also he lived a while in Sayre, and the many friends of the family will regret to hear of his death. --------------------------------------------------------- Return to Beckham County Archives: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ok/beckham/beckham.htm
