Virginian Pilot and The Norfolk Landmark February 26, 1904
Miss Mary Evelyn Sykes, a well known and highly esteemed young lady of this 
place, died at her home, corner Cross street and Berkley avenue, yesterday 
morning at 5 o'clock.  The deceased was only 17 years of age, and was the 
daughter of the late Geo. A. and Marina Sykes, the latter having been buried 
only three months ago yesterday.  Miss Sykes had been in ill health for some 
time and came home Wednesday from the mountains of Virginia, where she had been 
to regain her health.  She was accompanied home by her sister, Mrs. Carl Colonna 
and her brother, Willian Sykes.  Her condition, however, was much worse than 
when she left.
Yesterday morning she was found dead in her room by her brother, who went in to 
administer medicine to her.  She was a consistent member of Memorial M.E. Church 
and had a large circle of friends and acquaintances, who will be pained to learn 
of her death.  The funeral will take place on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock from 
the residence, and the obsequies will be conducted by her pastor, Rev. W. Asbury 
Christian, of Memorial Church.  The interment will be in Magnolia Cemetery.
