Obituary of Anderson D. Sebree

From 10 May 1905, Clark County (IL) Herald

The venerable father of M. F. Sebree, agt. for the Big 4 in
this city, died at his home in Paris, Saturday.  We take the
following notice from the Paris Gazette:

Anderson D. Sebree, a highly respected and pioneer resident of
the city, died at 7:15 o'clock Saturday morning at the family
residence on South Marshall street, after a brief attack of
pneumonia, aged 87 years.

The funeral occurred from the Christian church Monday
afternoon at 2 o'clock.  Rev. H. M. Brooks officiating
assisted, by Rev. Fims Idleman.  The remains were laid to rest
in Edgar cemetery.

Mr. Sebree was born in Owen county, Ky, August 27, 1818, and
was married at Paris, Ky, to Mary Eunice, whose death occurred
about four years ago in this city.  They removed to Paris in
1856 and for many years Mr. Sebree followed the trade of
cabinet maker.  He enlisted about March 1, 1862, as a private
in Co. A, 54th Illinois volunteer infantry, being later
commissioned as hospital steward of said regiment and serving
as such until his discharge for disability, July 24, 1864.  It
is a fact of interest that Mr. Sebree volunteered under Dr. S.
York, being present at the riot in Charleston, wherein the
latter was killed and accompanying the remains to Paris for
burial.

Mr. Sebree was a lifelong member of the Christian church and
has served for many years as an elder in the local branch of
that denomination.  He is survived by six sons and one
daughter.
