Mary A Siddall was born in Southwold, Canada West, February 3, 1833, and died at Dell Rapids, S.D., Aug. 15, 1901, aged 68 years, 6 months and 12 days. She moved with her parents to Illinois in 1839 and then to Iowa in the summer of 1854, where she resided until a few years since when they removed to South Dakota. She was married Jan. 31, 1855 to Wm. Woodward, and to them seven children were born; three sons and four daughters, of whom five are still living; James, Henry A. and Elmer Woodward, Mrs. Lettie Buchanan and Miss Bertha, two daughters having died in childhood. In addition to these and the husband, an aged mother in Cresco, two brothers, James Siddall of this place and Daniel Siddall of Colorado, several grandchildren and other relatives are left to mourn her loss.
The remains were brought to Cresco for interment in the family lot at New Oregon Cemetery, the services being held at the Baptist church, of which denomination she was a faithful member, Rev. Silke officiating. The music consisted of the favorite hymns of the deceased and were sung by a choir selected by the relatives and consisting of Mesdames Geo. Miller and W.R. Owen and Messrs. Wm. J. Patterson and Dana Mead.
The funeral was largely attended by the friends and neighbors of the deceased as a last tribute to the esteem in which she was held by them. She was an affectionate wife, a kind mother and a good neighbor, and will be mourned by all who knew her. Accompanying the remains from Dakota were the husband, daughters, two sons, Elmer and James, with their wives, two granddaughters, Miss Irene Woodward and Miss Stella Buchanan, and Mr. Albert Holton
