DEATH OF C. S. SYDENSTRICKER

C. S.Sydenstricker died at his home on Clark street on Thursday morning at four o'clock after an illness lasting several months. His death was caused by dropsy. For several years he was subject to heart trouble and for some time has been aware that his end was near.

Charles Augustus Stewart Sydenstricker was born in Green Briar county, Virginia, on June 37, 1841, where he attended school and grew to man's estate. He taught school and farmed in his native county. When the war broke out he acted as scout in the mountains for the Union army
and afterwards enlisted in Company G 36th Ohio regiment, receiving an honorable discharge at the close of the war.

He was married at Charlestown on April 1863 to Miss Nancy Thomas. Eleven children were born to them and nine are living. Five reside at home. His eldest son lives in Seattle, another
son in Omaha, and one daughter, Mrs. Hutchinson, lives in Los Angeles, Cal, and Mrs.H A. Johnson, another daughter, lives near Perry, O. T.

The family came to LeMars in 1882 and have lived here since.

The deceased was a member of Mower Post G A R.

Mr. Sydenstricker was a member of the First Baptist church, of which he was a devout and consistent member. He was of a fervent religions temperament and few men studied the bible and its teachings more than he.

He died at peace with all men, meeting the angel of death fearlessly, confident in the hope of a future life and glorious resurrection.

The funeral will be held on Saturday afternoon at 3 p. m. at the Baptist church and the members of Mower Post will conduct the services at the graveside.
