Thursday night, after months of intense suffering, Mrs. Eda Van Sickle, beloved wife of Benjamin F. Van Sickle, died at her home, 74 Hanford street.
Mrs. Van Sickle was born at Mongaup Valley, Sullivan county, Nov. 29, 1874, a daughter of Charles Stanton and Henrietta Perry. She had resided in Middletown since she was five years of age, previous to her marriage making her home with her uncle, the late Wm. G. Edmund. She was educated in the public schools of this city, and attended Miss Gaylord's private school for a number of terms.
On October 8, 1893, she was married to Benjamin F. Van Sickle, of this city, the ceremony being performed at Newburgh, by the Rev. B. H. Burch, a former pastor of St. Paul's Church of this city. On the 10th of June, 1910, Mrs. Van Sickle was taken ill with a disease which confined her to the bed for eleven months and one day, until her sufferings were ended.
During her prolonged illness, which she endured with true Christian fortitude, everything medical science could suggest was tried in an effort to relieve the suffering, but for months it was realized that the disease would eventually prove fatal. The sufferer fully realized this fact, but her life had been such that she was able to face the future with perfect composure, her only regret being the necessity of parting from those she loved so dearly. She noted the holidays and church festivals which had been so much to her in the past, and as one after the other drew near expressed a strong desire to remain until after they had passed. Up to a few hours before her death she was perfectly conscious of her condition and made all the arrangements regarding her funeral and the disposition of her body.
Mrs. Van Sickle possessed a lovable character, which won her a legion of friends. She was a gifted woman, her artistic work in china painting having won for her several first prizes at the Orange County Fairs. She was a faithful member of Christ Church and one of the Mission Circle of the church.
Besides her husband, she is survived by her father, Charles Stanton of Greenfield, Ohio; and one sister, Mrs. D. G. Hooks of New York. Her mother and brother died several years ago.
