Paul Laster Wicker 1893 – 1970 and Mallie Belle Burns 1901 – 1979 welcomed a son, James Preston Wicker into their home and lives on Sunday, November 13, 1921 in Sanford, Lee County, North Carolina, USA.
In 1942 he registered for the U.S. Draft of World War II where he was listed as a student at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, Orange County, North Carolina.
Preston lived at the same residence until he married Doris Mae Chandler, daughter of Jennings Ingram and Verna Mae Hadley Chandler on Friday, February 27, 1948, in Alamance County. They moved to Chapel Hill, Orange County, North Carolina for a short while during his studies at UNC and then back to Sanford, North Carolina.
On Saturday, March 10, 2007, at the age of 85, God called Preston to his final resting place. He was in Mecklenburg County at the time of his death. He was transported to Burlington, Alamance Co. to be interred at Long's Chapel United Church of Christ where many of the Chandler family were buried.

UPDATE:
James Wicker (33461778)
Suggested edit: James Preston Wicker served in the USMC during WWII, beginning from a student at UNC Chapel Hill, entering the Navy V12 program there…he trained on the Marine side, which took him to Quantico, then sent to California, then to Hawaii, where he served out the war. At war's end, he returned to Chapel Hill whereupon he completed his degree, majoring in Commerce. After a job with Swift and Co in Greensboro, he joined the family business in Chapel Hill, the NC Cafeteria, which had been started by his father in law, Jennings Chandler, Sr. He managed the cafeteria until it was sold in the early 1970s.
