Life story

Elizabeth B. "Lizzie" Kamm was born in Missouri in May 1893, a daughter of Robert Kamm and Barbara Hegnauer, who were then farming in Pleasant Gap Township, Bates County.1 In June 1900 "Lizzie B.", seven, was at school, and that January she and her sister Maggie had been among the pupils of the Scifres School.1–2 By 1910 the family had moved to a rented farm in Osage Township, just outside Rich Hill, where Lizzie, sixteen, was at home with her parents and five brothers and sisters.3

Lizzie was not at home in January 1920.4 She married Edward McVicker, and when her mother died in January 1923 she was named among the survivors as "Mrs. Edw. McVickers"; eleven years later, at her father's death, the Rich Hill paper printed her name as "Mrs. J. E. Vicker".5–6 Find a Grave gives her death in 1979, at Nevada, Missouri.7

  4. 1923 Marriage, with Edward McVicker before Jan 1923 · proven

    Date and place not found. She was "Mrs. Edw. McVickers" among her mother's survivors in January 1923 and "Mrs. J. E. Vicker" [McVicker] among her father's in January 1934. She was not in her parents' household in January 1920.

    Her mother's obituary names the four daughters as Mrs. John Grill, Mrs. Edw. McVickers, and Misses Maggie and Bertha Kamm; Christina was Mrs. John Grill, and Maggie and Bertha were single, so Mrs. McVicker is Lizzie. Her father's obituary (1934) lists the same four daughters, with the name garbled as "Mrs. J. E. Vicker". Find a Grave calls her Elizabeth Barbara Kamm McVicker.
