JAMES M. WICKHAM, Sr., was born in Hancock County, Ohio, in 1830, and emigrated to Dubuque County, Iowa, in 1856. In 1860, circumstances called him to make his home in Union County, where he arrived in September of that year, and, though he had no property to speak of, he contrived to support himself and family by his daily work. In 1862, he entered the army, and was engaged three years in the war, at the close of which he, though with very broken health, returned to his former pursuits, and at length, through perseverence, he is in possession of a comfortable home and most of the surroundings calculated to make life happy.
