SIDWAY
Mr. George D. SIDWAY, one of Alton's oldest and most highly respected citizens, died at his residence on Belle street at 4 a.m. to-day, of old age and general debility. Mr. SIDWAY has been confined to his residence for a long period, having retired from business ten or twelve years ago. During his long and active career no one of Alton's residents bore a better name, or was more richly entitled to the esteem and good will of its people than George D. SIDWAY. Active in business, fervent in spirit, he served God in a most faithful manner and his fellow men were the recipients of his kindly benevolence and deeds of good will. He was long connected with the M.E. church, and during the days of his strength was one of its active and diligent workers.
His long residence in Alton made him known to most of its inhabitants, and up to the date of his retiring from business and confinement to his residence there was no figure on the streets that was greeted with greater interest than that of Mr. SIDWAY. His old acquaintances remembered him with the affection of a friend.
He leaves but two children, Mr. L. B. SIDWAY, of Chicago, and a daughter, Mrs E. A. CLEMENT. He lived with the latter, and whose affectionate care and loving attention no doubt lengthened the days of her father's pilgrimage.
Mr. SIDWAY was born in Orange county, NY, in 1804, and came to Alton in 1846, where he has since resided. He became a resident of Illinois in 1831. He lived in Otter Creek, Jersey county, before coming to Alton, where he operated a tannery. He was engaged in the saddlery and leather business in this city.
The funeral will take place on Wednesday at 10 am, at the M.E. Church
