In 1840, at ten years of age, Grandfather Fred Bick traveled to New York from Bremen, Germany aboard the Maria Franziska with his parents, Andrew and Hannah Bick, and his 5 brothers. His older brothers were Julius, August, and Henry, and his younger brothers were George and William. They came to Ohio and stayed long enough for Fred to grow up, meet his future wife Julia and marry in 1851. All the Bick family ended up migrating to the west. Several of the brothers ended up in Iowa and Nebraska, but Fred and Julia stayed in Lewis Co., MO, where he plied his trade as a tailor in the small village of Benjamin. He outlived his wife by fourteen years and was laid to rest beside her in Canton, MO.

Our Bick Genealogy
Frederick Conrod Bick, who was born in Germany, immigrated to the United States and spent some time in Scioto Co., OH, where he worked as an apprentice tailor and where he met and married Julia Katherine Sinn, who had traveled from Bavaria, in 1837 aboard the Alliance with her parents, Moritz and Chatrine Sinn, and her two sisters, Barbara and Elizabeth.
Although it is unknown whether or not the Bick parents also immigrated, it is known that several brothers were in the United States by 1850. Most of them eventually migrated to Johnson Co., IA, and some traveled on to Nebraska, where they may be located in the census records, and where many of their descendants still remain. However, Frederick and Julia returned to Lewis Co., MO, where they lived and raised their children. Frederick evidently continued to ply his trade in the tailor business, and he was living in Benjamin, MO, at the time of his death in 1913. Many of his descendants remained in or around Lewis Co., MO.
Louis Wesley and his wife traveled to Hastings, NE, to try to make a new life for themselves, and at least their youngest child was born there. Unfortunately, during their short time there, Louis Wesley developed a lung disease to which he succumbed at the young age of 27. Amelia was left to raise the three small children alone, so they made the sad journey home to Lewis Co., MO, where they could at least be near the rest of the family. Louis Wesley was laid to rest here in the small rural German Methodist Cemetery just south of the Clark Co. line near St. Patrick. This cemetery is now overgrown with weeds and poison ivy, and most of the tombstones are missing, but for us, his descendants, it is good to remember that our grandfather lies buried here in the wilderness. Amelia never remarried but raised her three children alone and lived here among her loved ones for the remaining sixty years of her life.
