The West Briton (Friday, 18 Dec 1857) reported the following death: "At St. Ives, on the 10th instant, Mrs. Cordelia TICKLER, aged 78 years..." The Royal Cornwall Gazette (Friday, 18 Dec 1857) found their own way to garble the facts: "At St. Ives., Mrs. Cordelia SUKLER, aged 72 years..." In reality the lady was Mrs. Cordelia SICKLER, and she was most likely 76 or 77 at her death. Cordelia SAMPSON, d/o Nicholas SAMPSON & Rachel HOSKIN, was baptized at St. Ives on 11 Feb 1781. She married John PEARCE at St. Ives in 1806. Following his death, she married Richard SICKLER (s/o John & Mary SICKLER, bapt. 05 Jul 1779 at St. Ives) during 1815 at St. Ives. She had three known children by her first marriage plus a daughter by her second. Cordelia was buried at St. Ives on 13 Dec 1857. Bill Curnow Port Charlotte, FL, USA
