My grandfather was William Walter Stickel.He was born around 1900/1901 in Loudoun Co, VA.According tot he 1910 Census for Clarke Co, VA William Stickel ("Willie") was listed as a farm boy living with Neill and Rosa Thompson in the Frogtown area of Clarke Co.By the 1920 Census he was listed as still living with the Thompson family and had assumed their last name.He was married to my grandmother.Could this be the William Stickel (one of five sons) you might be looking for?
Also, there is a book that was published a few years ago (I believe by a man whose last name is MacDonald) concerning the Stickel family in Clarke County.It is a pretty extensive compilation and was extremely well researched.It can be found in the Archieves of Handley Library.If you need more information, please let me know and I'll try to help you.
Also there are lots of Stickels buried in the cemetary at Frogtown United Methodist Church.
