Samuel Wickey, a native of Ohio, was born on the 4th of January, 1850, and is the son of Joseph and Lizzie Wickey. In 1870 Samuel came to Madison county, Iowa, and thence to Elkhart county, Indiana, and in 1873 was married to Fannie Housouer. They have four children---Frank E., Melvin H., Ella C. and Milo A. Mr. Wickey came to Cass county in 1881, and purchased eighty acres of land, which he has nicely cultivated. By trade he is a blacksmith, but has taken to farm life and is very successful in his enterprise. He is an intelligent and progressive farmer, and may be proud of his beautiful land, which is being extensively cultivated.
