Does anyone know where in Douglas Co. Wa. was the town of Hicksville? Found a marriage record for Milford F. Sanford and Anna Esther Zickler, married January 29th 1908 at Hicksville, Douglas Co. WA. Can't find it on any map.

Hi Rose,
Hicksville was the first name of the town of Wheeler which is about 12 miles east of Moses Lake near the Adams County line. Hicksville/Wheeler was settled by Germans from Russia and was named Hicksville until about 1911.

Thanks go to Fred Pflugrath for this info.

I thought you may like to view a 1909 map if you zoom in you can see where Hicksville is. I zoomed in at 150% and found the town immediately. It is near the center of Washington just NE of Moses Lake and north of Wheeler:
