VICKERY

E. S. Vickrey, farmer, Bloomingdale, was born in Guilford county, North Carolina, in 1843. He remained at home working on a farm and attending school until he received a good common school education, and in 1866 he came to Bloomingdale, Indiana, where he served an apprenticeship at the carpenter's trade. This was his occupation, in connection with school teaching, having taught twelve terms during the winter season and two summer schools, being hired eight years at one place. He was elected justice of the peace in 1873, which office he now holds. In 1872 he married Julia A. Morrison, a native of Parke county. He and his wife are members of the Society of Friends, and politically he is a republican. - Beckwith, H. W.. History of Vigo and Parke Counties, 1880, Page 306
