Coming to Iowa from Ohio in a covered wagon more than 71 years ago, Mr. Sidener and his parents made their home on the prairie in Madison county for many years. He came to Des Moines in 1887. Until his retirement several years ago, he was a clothing and shoe salesman.

He also is survived by four sisters, Mrs. Dell Dawson, Mrs. Daisy Johns and Mrs. Lily Campbell, all of Des Moines, and Mrs. Angie Sommers, Ava, Mo.; and three brothers, Arthur of Des Moines, Fred of Hollywood, Cal., and Lawrence of Sacramento, Cal.

Burial will be in Pine Hill cemetery. Six grandsons will be pallbearers. Mr. Sidener died Friday at Broadlawns General hospital of complications resulting from heart disease.
