OBITUARY

DEATH OF R. SIDDALL

Reform Siddall, long a well and most favorably known resident near this city, but recently of Salem, Oregon, died at his home there on Wednesday as the result of apoplexy. The information concerning this event is very meager. He had, so far as is known, been in his usual excellent health, but two telegrams were received Wednesday night by his daughter, Mrs. John S. Harper, one reporting that he had been stricken by apoplexy, and the other that he was dead.

Mr. Siddall was a native of Columbiana county, Ohio, and was born February 22, 1842. He died March 2, 1910, making his age 68 years and 8 days. Growing up in Ohio, he was in 1865 there married to Miss Mary E. Hepburn. he continued to live there for several years but in 1885 they came to Iowa and located on their farm in Richland township, immediately north of the county fair ground, where Mrs. Siddall died less than three months later in the year 1898 he was again married to Mrs. Lizzie Martin, and, in the fall of 1903 the family removed to Salem, Oregon, where he has since resided. Mr. Siddall is survived by his second wife and by five children of his first marriage and two of the second. The elder children, all married, are Ella, Mrs. Harper of Nevada; Ira and George of Pocahontas county, Iowa; Mark and Blanche, Mrs. Joseph Eaton, both of Salem, Oregon; and the younger children, both small, are Galen and Mildred. Mr. Siddall was a representative citizen and successful farmer, whose removal from this community was noted with regret and whose death will be learned with sorrow.
