SIKES passed away at her residence, No 19 Franklin Street where she has lived for the past 58 years...She was born in Clinton, NY in 1803 and at an early age moved to Burrville, this county, with her father, T. REDFIELD, who established and operated a tannery there. The family afterward came to this city when it was in its infancy and Mr. Redfield was prominently known as one of the first deacons in the old Presbyterian Church. In 1826 she married Dr. William Sikes, who died in this city fifteen years ago after a long and prosperous life.
