General Notes: Husband - C. Foster Wick


He was reared in his native borough and received his intellectual train­ing in the public schools. When about twenty years old he began buying and sell­ing horses, and training young horses for the track. Among the best horses trained by him were Juliet, Sunbury Boy, Mattie Price, Harry W. and Captain Roll, all of which were well known to the racing public in their day. The last year Captain Roll was trained, he won eleven races out of thirteen starts, an exceptional record. He moved to St. Louis, Missouri, and continued in the same line of business for a period of fifteen years, then in 1890 returned to West Sunbury. He at that time became owner of the hotel, in which he had pre­viously owned an interest and which had been conducted by his brother, Carr Wick. He placed the establishment on a good paying basis and continued it with suc­cess until 1902, when it was destroyed by fire. The business he had built up war­ranted him in the erection of a new and modern structure, which he refurnished new throughout and in handsome style, and it was not long before the place was enjoying greater popularity and patronage than before.
