Wicks, Wm.

Good Colored Citizen Passes to His Reward

Wm. Wicks, one of the oldest colored citizens of this community, died Monday night, following a several weeks' illness, which followed a recent attack of flu. He was given the best of medical attention, careful nursing and every possible comfort and attention, but it was of no avail. He had been a hard worker throughout life, and his tired body doubtless welcomed the long, long rest that he knew was to follow.

The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon at the colored people's burial ground west of town [Paradise Garden] and was attended by a large crowd of mourning relatives and friends.

Wm Wicks had been known to the writer for nearly half a century, and for him we had a warm feeling of friendship. He was truly a good man, one who could be depended upon, one who valued the good opinion of his friends, both white and black, and he came mighty near living up to the teachings of his blessed Savior. In his passing we feel that we have indeed lost a true and devoted friend, one for whom we always had a warm spot in our heart. Our sincere sympathy goes out to his bereaved wife and children.
