Unknown how the family left Missouri. Did they crossed THE PLAINS by covered wagon on the OREGON - CALIFORNIA TRAIL IN 1876 or did they travel by train? Came with wife, Susan, two small children and father, William W. Rickman. They arrived at Ellensburg (now Gold Beach) Curry County, Oregon. They lived there for nearly ten years. Four more sons would be born here before Wilkie moved his family to Norway, Coos County, Oregon.
Also on this journey from Missouri most likely was Susan's parents and siblings, John Danner Miller and Rhoda. They are neighbors on the 1880 Census for Rogue River, Curry County, Or.
Name correction in newspaper article dated June 18, 1897, should be Mr. Wilkie Rickman NOT Frickman!
DC #3894 Cause of death: Tuberclosis
