Abstract:
The Ficklen family of Greenville traces back to James Ficklen of Virginia, a merchant, legislator, and commissioner to the Paris Exposition. Ficklen and his wife had nine children, several of which were noted citizens of Greenville. They individually and collectively have been involved with the East Carolina Teachers Training School, real estate and insurance businesses, cotton, tobacco, and the development of Greenville as a city. James Skinner Ficklen was a close friend of the college, for which the James Skinner Ficklen Memorial Stadium was dedicated.
