F. Wendell SICK, born 9-11-1849, died 10-4-1940, Age 91 xs.  Married in 1873 to SARAH J. MCDONALD. Sarah was born 10-1853, died 10-7-1927 xs, Age 74 They were married at St. Philip & James Church in Sugar Ridge (known now as the Neumann Shrine). They are both buried at St. Basil's Cemetery in Dushore. Sarah's parents were JOHN MCDONALD and MARY GAINER. They emigrated from Dublin, Ireland. John came in 1846; his wife and five children came in 1850. One child died on the way and was buried in Liverpool, England. Mr. McDonald was a tailor by trade. They settled on a farm on LaPorte Road in Cherry and Sarah was born there. Sarah's mother was a school teacher. Wendell was born in Overton. He was a harness maker. Later he had a shoemaker shop in Forksville, They moved to a large home in Dushore when their son William was six months old, near the current intersection of Route 220 and Route 87. Leo was also born there. According to Joseph J. Sick, "There were three fine homes built on the same plans: Wendell Sick's, Frank and Mabel Rohe's, and Julius Sick's. The only home in excellent condition to this date (July 2000), is Julius Sick's."   Bettyann has copy of both death certificates.

One story told was: Sarah’s mother did not want her to marry Wendell but got to the church to late to stop the marriage.  I think Wendell turned out to be a   GOOD HUSBAND AND FATHER.

The finest residences:  Wendell Sick was one of six.

Wendell SICK and Sarah J. MCDONALD had 5 children John C., Francis J., Hannah J. Sister, William P., Leo J.:

1. John Charles SICK was born on Nov 14, 1874 in Overton, Bradford Co., PA, died on Sep 18, 1963 age 88 xs. John C. Sick and Louise AMBS were married in 1898. Louise AMBS  was born Oct.7, 1873 died April 1,1951 xs,

age 78. JOHN was Post Master at Mildred, owned a small shoe store, and was a shoemaker and farmer. LOUISE was the daughter of NICHOLAS AMBS, who was born in Germany, and MARGARET ROHE, whose father was German by birth. Nicholas came to Philadelphia when nine years old with his father, XAVIER AMBS. Naturalization record: Xavier came to America in 1828 and became a citizen in 1846. The part of Germany he came from was controlled by the Kingdom of France one day, and Germany another, depending on who won the last battle. It was near "Elsetts", modern Alsace. Louise's mother was the daughter of VALENTINE ROHE, an early settler of Cherry. Her sister, CECILIA AMBS had a stroke and Louise took care of her for many years. In 1932, John Sick bought the Ambs farm on Rt. 87, in Cherry Mills, later purchased in 1941 by his son Joe and wife Betty McMahon Sick. Bettyann grew up in this home which had 4 bedrooms and two large attics on the second floor. Her brothers and Bettyann use to love to sneak into the attic that had all the old horse collars, sleigh bells, harnesses and shoemaker tools. The room was full of goodies they were not supposed to touch. Bettyann believes all of Francis Charles Sick's sons knew a good deal about making and repairing shoes and harnesses. They also had some pretty fine horses. Next, John bought his father Wendell's house at the corner of Rt.87 & Rt.220 in Dushore. After John's wife Louise died, he lived next to his son Francis, in a small trailer. Sarah M., Francis A., Margaret C., Mildred L., Joseph J.:

Soon after Joe and Betty bought the farm from his dad, six cows were killed by lightning. Joe and Betty continued to operate the farm until 1960. Joe worked at Miller Farm Equipment, repairing machinery and building cabins, next at Dolly Madison as head of maintenance, and finally retired from Penn DOT as paving foreman. Joe and Betty were members of St. Basil's Catholic Church. Joe was also a member of the Holy Name Society and 3rd degree Knights of Columbus. Betty was a member of the Altar Rosary Society and was Sacristan one month each year. Betty was an excellent seamstress and quilt maker. She loved her children and grandchildren. Betty was a warm host to everyone Joe would bring home. Joe and Betty both had held political positions. Joe was a great fisherman and could spin a good yarn. At his cabin, he made a Plexiglas window on hinges. When a newcomer arrived, he loved to jam a gun out this window on the pretense of shooting a deer. He worked many nights when the Sullivan County Bow Festival was beginning, with his cousins Dick & Vell Holcombe ( about 1957). Together, they invented the running deer target and other events. Joe was happy when he caught the eye of Howard Hill and was written up in an issue of the Pennsylvania Game News.

***See Settlers Page XXI on Sullivan County Genealogical Web Page. Link is at end of this history. The material in that source was was contributed by Kathy Chassin of Buffalo, NY unless otherwise indicated. She is a great-granddaughter of WILLIAM SICK and CATHERINE "KATIE" KELLY.   The Kellys were an Irish family from the Clonakilty area of County Cork. Five brothers and a sister emigrated at the time of the Great Famine and eventually came to Kelly Hill in the Overton-Forks area along the Bradford-Sullivan County lines. Katie was one of 18 children of DANIEL KELLY and MARY LAHEY, and was also the older sister of AGNES ELIZABETH KELLY, the grandmother of Bob Sweeney. Bob is the Coordinator for the Sullivan County Genealogical Project. So, Bob and Kathy Chassin are second-cousins, once removed. Small world, is it not! They never even knew each other existed until about six years ago. Kathy can be reached at kbrinton@pcom.net. The Sullivan County Settlers Web Page, and Bob Sweeney personally, are grateful to Kathy for her contribution of information and pictures.

***FROM REV. RUDDICK  NOTES:

The naturalization record gives his name as Franz Charles Sick. He is elsewhere listed as Charles Sick ("Caroli" in wife's death record at the church). It may well be that he changed "Karl" to "Charles" after coming to U.S. His granddaughter, Mary Litzelman Ruddick, called him "Charles" in her hand-written notes (1955) of the family genealogy.

Addendum: 4/24/01: From information from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City gathered by Fr. Paul J. McCarthy, SJ, the town is "Wurzach" or "Bad Wurzach." Georg Sick (1776-1837) and his wife Catharina Rothenhaeusler (1773-1845) were married in 1801 and lived in Wurzach. "In the years up to 1809 they had six children: five died before age 2, one lived from 1807 to 1835." Presumably Franz Karl and siblings were children of this family. It is the only Sick family from that time in this town. What about Joseph as the father? It may well be that Georg and Joseph were the same person, with one name being the middle name used by the family and friends and the other name an "official" name.

The death record (by Father Xavier Kaier) gives Hannah’s name as "Johanna" Sick - "wife of Charles Sick ***

Here is a picture of the Copenhaven School in Cherry Mills where many Sick families sent their children.

Copenhaven School, Cherry Mills, PA

According to Bettyann, on September 17, 1923, the Cherry Mills School, Grades 1-8, included: Joe Sick; Mildred Sick; Agnes, Frances and Katherine Rohe; Mary Cook; Willard and Ruth Hartzig; Joe, Marie, Catharine and Rita Cavanaugh; Helen Dempsey; Evelyn Hottenstein; Alice and Cora Barth; Alberta Krause; and Grace, Mabel & Urilda VanTassal.At the beginning of the twentieth century, the building was the classroom for many Cherry Mill students including several of the Sick children. In fact, Charles S. Sick lived kitty-corner from the schoolhouse and dedicated the building in 1876 with an engravure on a stone. The stone is still posted in a tree next to the former school. In 1997, Lynn Franklin took this picture of the Cherry Mills School, which was previously named the Copenhaven School. You can find pictures of the school and two other classes in The Family of Johannes Jakob Messerschmidt; just scroll down to the pictures.
