From the Times-Democrat, New Orleans, September 20, 1888, p. 8:
Jackson, Miss.
DEATH OF ANOTHER PROMINENT CITIZEN
Special to the Times-Democrat.
Jackson, September 19. – Mr. G. D. Sidway, a leading business man, an enterprising citizen and one of the mainstays of St. Andrew’s Parish, died here at 6 o’clock this morning, after a long and painful illness. Mr. Sidway came to this State from Chicago some years before the war and settled in Vicksburg, where he lived several years and then moved to Natchez, living there a number of years and making friends with all with whom he came in contact.
When the war broke out, he volunteered in a Natchez company and remained in active service until peace was declared, always answering the call of duty both in camp and on the battlefield. At the close of the war he settled here and soon after married the daughter of the late Rev. Dr. W. C. Crane, perhaps the most popular and beloved rector St. Andrew’s Parish ever had.
He was successful in business and died without an enemy, but with a host of friends. Hon. J. C. Kyle, chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee, has insured a ringing address marshaling his hosts for battle.
