The correct spelling of the last name of the patriot is whicker not whickar.

My son and I were taking pictures in a cemetery a few years ago. It was
overcast and the flash went off. I'm not sure what kind of setting my son
had on the camera, and the marker was an old marble VA stone almost
totally
illegible by the naked eye. What appeared in the picture was much
different
and the white lettering came out more visable. The picture is on the
INSSAR
patriot web site, if you have time, you can look at the picture he
took
under patriot William Whickar's name, you will see the picture that my
son
took. It appears as if the picture was taken at night, but it was
only
overcast.
