Biography
Abraham Lincoln Rickard was born in Jesup, Iowa on September 3, 1868 [1] to Lewis Rickard (1831-1910) and Maria Antoinette Fellows (1835-1910). He was the 6th child and 3rd son. He first shows up with the family in the 1870 census living in Jefferson, Buchanan, Iowa.[2] By the time of the 1880 census, the family had moved to Hall County, Nebraska[3] area where he grew up, (likely) married his wife, Minnie Agnes Newton (1875-1940) in about 1895. It is interesting to note that in the 1880 Federal census, Abraham was listed as "laborer" (at age 12), while older sister, at age 13 was "in school". It certainly may indicate that he had a hard childhood.
Abraham and Minnie went on to raise 7 children and at least in the 1910 census were living on a farm that they were renting and that Abraham was working in Harrison, Hall, Nebraska. [4]
April 1930 finds Abraham and Minnie living in
Alda, Hall, Nebraska with a grown son, Clyde and two grown daughters, Mavis and Vera.[5]
Abraham died January 20, 1935 in Alda, Nebraska[6] at the age of 76 years. He is buried in the Alda Cemetery, in Alda, Nebraska with his wife and at least 2 of his children.
