SEATTLE, Jan. 25 (IP) Another
pioneer of the wagon train days of
the old west, William Q. Wickersham,
70, who came to Puget sound from
Fall River, Kan., in 1885, died here
late yesterday.
Tho pioneer left his Kansas home
in 1878, but his wagon train was held
up at Albion, Idaho, by an outbreak
of the Umatilla Indians with the
result that almost seven years passed
before the journey to Puget sound
was completed.
