                            JOEL H. WICKER DEAD.
                            
              MR. JOEL H. WICKER, who has been in poor health
            for sometime, died Saturday evening, aged 76 years.
            MR. WICKER was a son of a Methodist minister, and
            was born at Pittsfield, Vt., in April, 1812. In
            1821 the family removed to New York State, thence,
            in 1837, MR. WICKER removed to Ohio, and from there
            to Chicago in 1839. Here he remained, following the
            business of railroad and canal building principally
            until 1878, when he came to St. Joseph, and ever 
            since resided here. He was at one time interested
            with MR. MORRISON in the wooden ware manufacturing
            industry, afterwards also active in other business
            enterprises. His life generally was a busy one in
            a business way. A brother, HON. C. G. WICKER, of
            Chicago, a sister, MRS. S. RAND ofDesplaines, Ill.,
            two daughters, MISS JENNIE, who so faithfully
            remained with her father and cared for him, and
            MRS. D. O. DICKINSON, of Chicago, survive the
            kindly brother and father.
              The funeral services were held at his late home,
            on Niles av., on Monday forenoon, many friends
            and neighbors besides the immediate members of the
            family being present. Rev. M. D. CARREL conducted
            the services, after which the remains were taken
            by early afternoon train to Chicago to Graceland
            Cemetery, in that city, and placed in a vault
            where they will remain for several months to be
            finally interred by the side of his mother.
              The family desire to express their deep thanks
            for valuable aid rendered by all in their bereave-
            ment.
