Cutler's History of Kansas, 1883

WILLIAM H. WYCKOFF, farmer and grain and hay dealer and shipper, Section 26, Township 19, Range 12, P. O. Emporia, was born in Somerset County, N. J., September 20, 1850. About fifteen years later his parents removed to Fulton County, Ill., where his father engaged in farming and where the subject of this sketch remained until he came to Kansas. After attaining his majority he learned the trade of carriage and wagon making, in which, together with farming, he was engaged until the spring of 1879, when he located in Jackson Township and purchased an improved farm of 335 acres, situated half a mile south of the Neosho River and two and a half miles west of Neosho Rapids, which he has since operated. He has made additional improvements upon this farm, including an addition to the dwelling, new barn and corn cribs, and a warehouse for pressing hay and storing grain, and planted an orchard of about 100 trees. The Missouri Pacific Railway has upon his farm, through which it runs, a depot called Alda Station, from which he ships pressed hay and grain. He raises some cattle and hogs; raises some corn, but uses most of his land for hay purposes. He is a member of the Reformed Church. He married Miss Susie J. Herder, of Fairview, Fulton County, March 12, 1868, by which marriage he had two children, of whom Courtland Voorhees is living.
