Mr. Sickles was originally a resident of Marlboro township. He married a daughter of the late Garrett D. Hendrickson of Wickatunk. Mr. Sickles owned a large farm in Marlboro township and he gave much of his time to the raising of fast horses. He bred and raised the fast horse, George M. Patchen. This horse he sold before it made its record for speed, and he got only a comparatively small sum for it. About twenty-five years ago he sold his farm and moved to Red Bank. He bought a triangular strip of land from Henry C. J. Schroeder, where he made his home. This property was on Broad street and is the plot now occupied by St. James's church and rectory. Mr. Sickles made a number of improvements to the property, and he adorned his lawn with a statue of Atalanta and with casts of deer and other animals. His place was for a time the showiest in Red Bank. He engaged in the real estate business, but was not successful. Ten or twelve years ago his Broad street property was sold by the sheriff and he moved to New York. Subsequently he moved to Oceanic, where he remained until his death. He leaves one son, who is engaged in the real estate business in New York at the present time. His widow also survives him.
