ALFRED WICKLIFFE Since 1905 this gentleman has been a resident of Fresno County and by his executive ability has held positions of trust and responsibility which have given him a standing among his fellows in Parlier and Del Rev vicinities.

A native of Missouri, born in Benton County, October 1, 1882, Alfred Wickliffe is a son of Robert and Clara (Hughes') Wickliffe, and second in order of birth in a family of sixteen children, fourteen of whom reached maturity and are living. Four sons served their country in the World War, three entering the service from Missouri.
Elmer R.; Ira W.; and Lewis H. Ira W. has been discharged but the others are with the army of occupation. Jerry. M. entered the service at Fresno. May 1, 1917, served in the Aviation Corps and for eighteen months was overseas. He was discharged May 16, 1919, and is now at Selma.

Alfred Wickliffe received his education in the public schools in Missouri, followed farming there till 1905, when he came to California and to Fresno County, where he had a brother. He worked in various places until January 1, 1917, when he became manager of the Fortuna Rancho, near Parlier. This ranch comprises 500 acres and is devoted to fruit and nuts and has been under cultivation about thirty years. During the busy season 175 persons were under the supervision of the manager, and in normal times there were twenty. One season's shipment included seven cars of prunes, one car dried peaches, seven cars fresh peaches, and one car English walnuts. This gives a better understanding of the responsibility that was Mr. Wickliffe's. He resigned this position and on May 15. 1919, accepted the position of superintendent of the Del Rio Rev Rancho, with duties of a similar nature as mentioned above. The 520 acres in the ranch are devoted to table and raisin grapes.

In 1912, Mr. Wickliffe was united in marriage with Miss Glenn Myers, daughter of Darius and Susie (Bedford*) Myers, and two daughters blessed their union, Winifred C. and Wilma C.

On April 14, 1915, Mrs. Wickliffe died and was mourned by her family and many friends. Mr. Wickliffe is a member of the Woodmen of the World and is popular wherever he is known.
