• Notes

  Anna, my mother. My parents were married in 1880 after which they took up their abode in Listowel where they resided until the time of their death in 1926. My father was a merchant and at various times owned stores in Listowel, Atwood, Sturton, New Hamburg etc. My parents were devout Christians. They were blessed with six children, all boys as follows: Alvin C. Bricker, who is at present engaged in the drug business at Espanola, Ont. Arthur K. Bricker, engaged in farming at Fenn, Alta. He had a splendid war record but is at present in poor health due to his overseas disabilities. Dr. Edwin G. Bricker, Winnipeg, Man., who has an outstanding record for civic activities; Dr. Calvin D.
