Sellers was Quaker when he married Adelia, a Presbyterian, according to a descendant, his family disowned him and he was never reconciled with them. He had made plans to visit them shortly before he died, but the visit never occurred. Adelia's handwritten note is as follows:

Sellers Wickersham departed this life December the 30th 1882 at his home One Mulberry St., Galesburg Ill. Dr. A. G. Humphrey was his attending physician. Mr. Judson Bartlett was the undertaker. Rev. Harmon of the Universalist church officiated at the funeral, Jan. 2nd 1883. The Internment was in Hope Cemetery, Galesburg Ill.

Adelia Brown Wickersham, wife of Sellers Wickersham, was a Universalist, not a Presbyterian. I have hand-written "Recollections of Adelia Wickersham" handed
down in my family, that describe the Presbyterian connection. The Universalist group to which Adelia belonged provided funds to the Presbyterians to help build
a church which the Universalists expected to have use of upon completion. But once the church was completed the Presbyterians refused to let the Universalists
use it. The Wickersham family bible somehow was in the hands of the Presbyterians after Adelia and Sellers died, so this might have caused the confusion. Later in life Adelia might have embraced Christian Science.

Adelia was the niece of my gr gr grandmother, Nancy Stockton Edwards. They were raised together like sisters and remained close all their lives. Nancy, although
Adelia's aunt, was 2 years younger.
