Wickersham Jewelry's History
Glen Wickersham began Wickersham Jewelry in 1959, in Abbotsford, with just 800 square feet of selling space. Today, Wickersham Jewelry can be found in Rothschild near the Cedar Creek mall, in Marshfield and in the Cedar Wood Plaza in Rhinelander. (The family also operated a store in Neillsville from 1985 -1993)
Glen retired and in 1994 his four children took over the corporation. Jeff Wickersham, Vice President, handles the Cedar Creek store, a brother Robert is in Marshfield and sister Debra is in Rothschild. Gary, who managed the Neillsville store, died in 2001 in an accident.
