Newspaper - Big Spring
Funeral Service Held
For W.A. Ricker, 73

Big Spring  Dec 10  1932  

Funeral service was held here today for W.A. Ricker, 73, a rancher in Reagan and
Howard Counties for 25 years.

He died early Friday after a long illness. Survivors are his wife; a son, Rupert
P. Ricker, San Angelo and a daughter, Mrs. Barney Whisenant, Laredo.

Rev. J.H. Spann of Big Sprig and Rev. Grady Timmons of San Angelo officiated.

NOTE:
William August Ricker married Elmira Vanilla "Nellie" Hall on Oct 1, 1888
probably in Navarro Co.  She was the daughter of Aralza and Nancy Ellen Grimes
Hall and granddaughter of Frederick Miller Grimes I and Elmira Susan Farley
Grimes of Coryell Co, TX.

The family had moved from Corsicana around 1907 to Reagan and Howard Counties. 
The cause of his death was throat cancer.

Mrs. Ricker died Dec 2, 1950 and is buried in Mt. Olive Cemetery, Big Spring, so
I assume that her husband, W.A. is also buried there.
