Born: South English, Iowa, Dec. 23, 1866.
Died: June 14, 1917.

Was born Dec. 23, 1866. She inherited the legacy of those whose early life is spent upon the farm, a strong constitution and a love for labor. By right of inheritance she was endowed with strong religious principles, and an ambition for mental and spiritual development. Her father, W. A. Morgan, was a native of Ohio, and in the early days of the fifties came to Iowa, homesteading land in Keokuk County. Her mother comes from Kentucky parentage and descends from a line of preachers. Was born in Indiana, from whence she came in 1856 with her parents to Iowa. It was while she and Mr. Morgan there both engaged in teaching school that they met and afterward united their energies, helping to make and to lay the foundation of a great State upon the prairies of Iowa. To the faithfulness of these parents in Christian principles and zeal are largely due the consecrated lives of their children.

Alice was the sixth in order of birth of a family of seven children. Three of her brothers, F. A., O. T. and L. W. Morgan, were ordained to the ministry, and her sister Clara is the wife of B. A. Wilkinson, one of our faithful preachers now in Nebraska. Her early education was received in the district school, and, following the example of many others, she did service as a teacher in the building where she experienced her first day of school. When in her seventeenth year she entered Drake University, graduating with the class of ‘90. As a student she ranked high among her classmates, and received frequent recognition of her ability in the school. It was here that she met D. A. Wickizer, and on June 24, 1890, they were united in marriage by President Aylsworth. She at once entered heartily into the work, and few ministers have ever had more devoted and consecrated help.

Mrs. Wickizer has been active in Christian Woman's Board of Missions work in Iowa, as organizer and as president of that organization. Also was for a time State superintendent of Junior work. Her many addresses at conventions and upon special occasions have always merited the appreciation that they receive. She has received many beautiful tributes in press notices and otherwise regarding her addresses. Of recent, her family cares have deprived her of doing much public work except with the congregation for which her husband labors. Hers is one of those lives that inspires people who come in contact with her, causing them to long for a purer life, and a larger spiritual development. t has been my good fortune to know the subject of this sketch from early childhood, and to watch her active and useful life. If her husband, D. A., was unable to fill his pulpit, he was never at a loss for a substitute, which he found in the person of his devoted and accomplished wife, and the audience was never disappointed. Sister W. is of pleasing address, instructive and Scriptural. She is a charming entertainer in her home.
