I can send those to you (or just text) if you want.<br /><br />The Oakland Wiki has been great, both for history and curreent day Oakland. It's a Local Wiki (https://localwiki.org/about/) which many people have set up around the world to document where they live. There's room for stories that Wikipedia thinks are too small or not important enough.<br /><br />Anyways, here's the updated entry with your photo of Lizzie added: https://oaklandwiki.org/Louis_R._WickerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542931247957198888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470217109659177851.post-63018750010892187722016-02-07T12:39:43.456-08:002016-02-07T12:39:43.456-08:00Made a few changes reflecting some new information...Made a few changes reflecting some new information online, though I'm always reluctant to cite online family trees. Hopefully this is a solid one. You certainly may use the photograph; courtesy Heirlooms Reunited would be nice.

That said...<br /><br />For Frank Collins Wicker, his middle name may go back to Louis' grandmother (fathers' mother), Priscilla Collins (1780-1835), wife of John Wicker (1776-11856).<br /><br />Louis' parents were Daniel Wright Wicker (1806-1868) and Harriet Compton (Wicker) (1813-after 1880). Still no info on Lizzie's parents.<br /><br />May I use the photo of Lizzie on the Oakland Wiki page? I can put whatever credit you'd like (e.g., courtesy Pam Beveridge with a link the Heirlooms Reunited).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542931247957198888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470217109659177851.post-22988872557544152382016-02-07T08:58:57.634-08:002016-02-07T08:58:57.634-08:00Thank you for adding this extra information.
