Lucy Magdelene Frickel was born in mid-June 1906 at the Frickel family homestead northwest of Ringwood, OK—the fourth of seven children. Just as her older sisters attended the Englewood School in their community, so did Lucy.
At age eighteen Lucy married Andrew Jackson Adkisson in Cherokee, Oklahoma, on October 29, 1924. Andrew, originally from Harper County, Kansas, was thirty-eight years old. He had two daughters from a previous marriage: Lois (Adkisson) Solorio and Trela (Adkisson) Hiatt. Lucy and Andrew owned their own farm west northwest of Ringwood, and that is where they lived, worked, and raised their family of four children together: Reba Lorene (1925), Lewis "Bus" (1927), Dotty Rose (1929), and Roy (1934).
REFLECTIONS FROM A NEPHEW: I remember well how Aunt Lucy seemed so strong to me. For several years she cared for thousands of turkeys, and she could carry heavy feed sacks seemingly as easy as feather pillows!! When she tried to show me how to milk a cow during one of our family visits to her farm, I soon discovered why she had such a strong hand grip! I have fond memories of playing and foraging around the big barn and the farmyard during those times--a real delight for a city-bound boy. I also remember those Frickel family gatherings at her home. Of course, there was nothing to compare with Aunt Lucy's burnt-sugar cake or her dill pickles! I also remember Aunt Lucy's storm cellar. It was actually like a bunker—made of concrete, very sturdy and really quite nice. That storm cellar was built about as sturdy as Fort Knox, it seemed to me as a little kid. I had never seen anything like it! Aunt Lucy kept the cellar fully stocked with canned vegetables and fruits. I am convinced that if anyone had ever gotten stuck down in that cellar, they certainly would not have starved to death!! (by J. Michael Fullingim).
Lucy died on October 24, 1965, at the young age of fifty-nine from leukemia in an Oklahoma City hospital. She was the first of the Frickel siblings to pass away. She was preceded in death by her parents and by her husband.
Lucy had been a member of the Carwile Wesleyan Methodist Church, northwest of Ringwood, Oklahoma.
Survivors included two daughters, Mrs. Albert (Reba) Thompson, San Rafael, Calif.; Mrs. Harry (Dotty) Clough, Yukon, OK; two sons, Lewis and Roy, both of Ringwood; five sisters, Minnie Farnsworth, Ringwood; Anna Astley and Lida Astley, both of Helena; Irma Fullingim, Enid; Myrtle Ensminger, Seattle, Wash.; one brother, George Frickel, Cleo Springs; 11 grandchildren; two stepdaughters, Lois Solorio, Enid; and Mrs. Loyal (Trila) Hiatt, Rock Springs, Wyoming.
Pallbearers were Jack Foster, Gilbert Haworth, Cecil Wiggans, Eldon Whitneck, Ernest Rextroat, and Perry Whitneck. The family requested that memorial contributions be made to Carwile Wesleyan Methodist Church, near Ringwood, with the funeral home acting as custodian of the fund.
