Sterling J. Wickham, Dead

The many friends of SterlingJ J. Wick
ham, former editor and proprietor of
The Messenger, who reside in this vi
cinity, will be very greatly panied to
learn of his death, which occurred at
his home in Detroit, Tuesday after
noon, at five O'Clock, as a result of
tubercular meningitis. Mr.. Wickham
had been in i'll health for about six
months, and had been confined to his
home.for number of weeks, but up to
Friday of last week had been able to
carry on his work as managing editor
of "The Moose" the official organ of
the Order of that name in Michiga an.
Mr.. Wickham was born at Meta
mora, Michigan, March 20. 1888. He
was graduate of Flint High School,
and in his chosen profession of journal
ism possessed more than ordinary abil-
ity, with the prospect of useful and
successful career openiug before him.
AS man he was generous and affable,
loyal as friend, and as husband and
father, loving and devoted; his untimely
de ath will ever be recalled will sincere
sorrow by all who knew him.
While he was engaged as publisher
of The Messenger, Mr.. Wickham was
married to Miss Emma Pound, daugh-
ter of Thomas Pound, who with two
little daughters, Margaret and Jane,
the eldest not three years old, sur
wives him. He is also survived by his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Wickham,
who reside in California, and who will
be prevented from attending the fun
eral by the illness of the former, who
is afflicted with paralysis. There is
also younger brother, John, likewise
a resident of California, who, it is ex-
pected, is now enroute to Michigan;
and brother in Illinois. All of these
friends will have in their deep affiiction
the sincerest sympathy of all who know
them.
Mr.. Wickham was a member of the
Oddfellows and Masonic lodges of
Clio, and, we understand, was insured
to the extent of $1,000 in some frater-
nal order.
The following in relation to the fun
eral Is taken from the Detroit News:
''The funeral will be held from the
residence, Friday at ppm. The hon.
orary pail bearers will include Arthur
j. Lacey, former Judge of the court of
domestic relations: Ira w. Jayne, sup
erintendent of the recreation commits
