editMy grandmother's maiden name was Spickard. Her father's name was Thomas Eden Applegate and her mother Melissa May Spickard. I am writing a novel about a personal tragedy in her early life in Spickard and would appreciate communicating with anyone at this site to share pictures or description of Spickard at the turn of the century. My grandmother was born in 1899 but moved to California in 1920. Her mother, Melissa, after whom I named my own daughter, died when rather young, possibly by a lightning stirke (?), I'm not sure. Anyway, a Melissa in her namesake survives in Modesto, Ca. My name is Elise. I look forward to anyone's help. Thank you.
Hello Elise. I grew up in Spickard and lived there until 1993. My parents moved there after the end of WWII. My mother was a high school English teacher and writer. My father ran the local general store. I relocated to Memphis, TN. I have discovered several people here with Spickard connections. You can reach me at vincehathaway@hotmail.com. Please use Spickard as your subject line. Posted 5-25-2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.146.181.180 (talk) 18:25, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
