*Obituary
Last rites for William Henry Vickery, 78, who died March 13, at his home in Cotter, were held Thursday afternoon of last week, March 15, at Cotter Assembly of God Church with Rev. Charles Fiant officiating.
Mr. Vickery, a retired farmer, was born August 6, 1877, in Stone County and was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Allen Vickery. He had resided in Baxter county for 10 years.
Survivors include his widow, Mrs. Melissa Vickery, of the home, two daughters, Mrs. Lucy Reynolds of Cotter and Mrs. Ruby Poynter of Wichita, KS; two sons, Ray Vickery of Yuba City, CA and Alvin Vickery of Topeka, KS; a brother, John Vickery of Ponca City, OK and two sister, Mrs. Lizzie Holt of Sylamore and Mrs. Annie Kesterson of Arlington, CA.
Interment was in Fairview Cemetery at Buford, under direction of the Roller Funeral Home.
Note: There are numerous items in this listing that don't agree with all family listings. The spelling of the surname was given as Vickery in a number of places, including his obituary. His obituary indicated that he was born in Stone County, Arkansas; however, some family histories show that he was born in Hall County, Georgia. The date of birth shown here agrees with his obituary and most genealogical listings; however, his World War I Draft Registration shows a date of birth as August 26, 1877.
