The Huntsville Weekly Democrat, 10 Jan 1883
  SYKES.—Died, at Decatur Ala., Jan’y 6, 1883, Dr. FRANCIS W. SYKES, of 
Lawrence Co., Ala. 
  Dr. Sykes was a native of North Carolina, and at an early age, came to Morgan 
Co., Ala., and, afterward, settled near Courtland, Lawrence Co., Ala.  On 
Friday last, he left home for Huntsville, was taken ill, stopped at Decatur, 
and died there on Saturday.  He represents Lawrence county repeatedly, in the 
State Legislature, and in the Constitutional Convention of 1875.   A Democratic 
Legislature elected him to the U. S. Senate since the war, but the Radical 
Senate refused him his seat.  An honest, earnest, able, useful citizen, the 
public could ill afford to lose him.
