Norfolk Virginian July 28, 1882

DEATH -The fell destroyer has garnered another full ear to his sheaf in the 
death of Mrs. Wicks, late consort of our esteemed fellow townsman, Capt. Wicks, 
of the Berkley ferry line. Apoplexy, we learn, was the cause of her untimely 
taking off, induced by exposure to heat. We extend to the Captain and his family 
our sincere condolence in this the greatest bereavement of his life and trust 
that verily "the Lord tempers the wind to the shorn lamb."
*******************************************************************************
Mrs. Sarah M. Wicks - The sudden and unexpected summons which called the above 
estimable lady from this transitory world on Thursday evening, at 7 o'clock, has 
fallen upon this community with startling effect and the stalwart oak is bowed 
in sorrow, around whom she turned her graceful foliage for more than a quarter 
of a century. As the affectionate wife of Capt. E.F. Wicks, she maintained that 
relation until the close, leaving nothing to be desired. As a mother, she was 
remarkable for her devotion to her children, all of whom but one have reached 
maturity; and as a Christian she was not excelled by any, at all times 
worshipping promptly and devoutly with the communicants of the M.E. Church, of 
which she for many years was a consistent and exemplary member. She had reached 
her threescore years. We extend to her bereaved husband and grief stricken 
children our sincere sympathy and condolence.

Norfolk Landmark Saturday July 29, 1882
