Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 30 August 1901
After an extended illness Mrs. Mary C. VanSickle, relict of I. N. VanSickle, died at a quarter of seven o’clock Tuesday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Pickett, where she had been since her return from California several weeks ago. Mrs. VanSickle was quite low Sunday night but rallied Monday morning and held her own until the afternoon when she suddenly grew worse, failing until her sufferings were relieved by death. The funeral will occur at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Pickett this afternoon at 3 o’clock and will be private. The interment will be at Oak Hill.
Mrs. VanSickle was the daughter of the late William Bromley and was born at Wingate fifty four years ago. On November 16, 1865, she was married to I. N. VanSickle. The two children born to them still live, Mrs. W. F. Robb and Mrs. Walter Pickett.
Mrs. VanSickle was a consistent and almost life long member of the First M. E. Church. She was a woman of many admirable traits and lived a devoted Christian life, her faith being most forcefully exemplified during the last few years of her life in which although a confirmed invalid she bore herself with a cheerful and beautiful fortitude. -s
