"Hawk" first entered The Journal office about 1851, and since that time has almost continuously labored at the "case", except during the late war, when he served with credit in
the army. The deceased was forty years of age, and leaves a wife and five children. He was the son of Milton H. Wickersham, now of Chicago, and leaves other relatives. The funeral will take place this afternoon from the family

NOTE: He has no stone. The grassy area you see
in the photo is the Wickersham plot but no stones were found for any of that family buried there.
