                       Death of Capt. W. Scott Sykes

Captain W. Scott Sykes, an old and highly respected citizen of Berkley, died at 
his residence in that village yesterday afternoon. Captain Sykes was stricken 
with paralysis some time since, but improved up to a short while since, when he 
was again stricken down, and during the last few days his death has been hourly 
expected.  He was a man highly esteemed by all who knew him and was county 
surveyor. He served gallantly during the late war, and at the time of his death 
was a member of several lodges.  His funeral will take place from Chestnut 
Street M.E. Church, in that village, tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock.
