Obit from the Wisconsin TObacco Reporter, Edgerton, Rock CO.,
WI. 13 Mar 1896:

MRS. HANNAH VICKERS Mrs. Hannah Vickers was born at Birchover,
Derbyshire, England, Oct. 29, 1819, and departed this life
March 1rst, 1896. She moved with her parents to Whittington in
1835, at which place she was married to Sam'l G. Vickers in
1844, her maiden name being Marsden. To them were born eight
children, all of whom are prosperous and industrious citizens.
THey came to America in 1869 and settled her on Albion
Prairie, where her parents and brothers and sisters settled in
1844. Four of the children, John, Martha(now Mrs. Moore),
Samuel, Mary (Mrs. Goodrich) are in South Dakota. THe
remaining four, George, Walter, Arthur and Joseph, still
remain in or near this vicinity. Mrs. Vickers was converted
through the instrumentality of the Primitive Methodist church
when she was 20 years old, with which she remained a faithful
member to the end. She had been gradually growing feeble for
some time, but the journey to Edgerton to attend the funeral
of her old and highly repsected friend, Mrs. Hudson, hastened
on the end. From that day it came on rapidly, yet without any
severe bodily pain. The funeral was held at the P.M. church on
Thursday last, her pastor Rev. M. C. Baker, officiating.
Although the weather was inclement, a large number followed
her to her last resting place, showing how highly she was
respected by all the people of this community. All her
children were able to be present, and may they all meet her
with father who preceeded her some seven years ago.
