Kenosha (Wisconsin) Telegraph, February 25th, 1864, page 3
On the 20th inst., at the residence of her family near Kenosha, Mrs. Orpha Sykes, surviving consort of the late Col. Daniel Sykes, formerly of Richland, Oswego County, N.Y., aged 77 years, 2 months and 8 days.
The deceased was a native of Brimfield, Mass., and removed, with her husband, at an early day, into the then newly settled county of Oswego, N.Y.
Here she lived some forty years, beloved and respected, until 1853, when her husband and his family migrated to the State of Wisconsin, to spend his days and enjoy his comfortable possessions among his children and friends who had become residents there before him. Mrs. Sykes, for many years, was unable, by reason of a long-standing lameness, to engage in the more active duties of life outside her household, but found occasion, in these circumstances, to exercise the promptings of a kind and benevolent heart in dispensing to the needy, and feeling for the wants of others. She died peacefully, in the 77th year of her age, after a lingering illness which she bore with patience and resignation.
