Henry Walter Wickliffe (1868- )

Henry Walter Wickliffe


 
Henry Walter Wickliffe was born on May 3, 1868 in the city of Boggess, Muhlenberg County, Kentucky.  He was the first of three children born to William Washington Wickliffe and Sarah Jane Porter.

Henry married Ida M. Burton around 1889, probably in Montague county, Texas.  He was about 21 years old and she was around 15 years.  Ida was born in Texas in December 1874.  

The Wickliffe family was living in Norman, Cleveland County, Oklahoma in 1900.  However, Henry was living in Oklahoma City as a lodger in 1910.  He was working as a salesman in a dry goods store at the time.  

Henry and Ida had at least three children:

            Mamie                       born in January 1890
            Earl Burton                born March 9, 1894
            Leroy                          born in February(?) 1898

By 1920, Henry had married a second time and moved to Seattle, King County, Washington, where he was employed as a floor man in a dry goods store.  It is not known whether Henry and Ida divorced, or if she died.

Henry married Leila M. (maiden name unknown) around 1917, probably in Washington.  This was Leila’s first marriage.  Leila was born on May 4, 1881 in Iowa. 

Henry Walter Wickliffe died on August 17, 1961 in Los Angeles County, California, just three months after his 93rd birthday.  

Leila passed away nine years later on the day after Christmas, in the same county.  She died on December 26, 1970 at the age of 89 years.
