Sidden Obituaries

Contributed By Harold Anthony Lloyd

From the Wednesday August 9, 1905 edition of Wilkesboro, North Carolina's "The
Chronicle":

"William Sidden died near Joynes last week, from cancer.  He was about 70
years old.  It is rather remarkable that he is the third who has recently died
in that section from cancer.  The other two were Andy Sidden and Samuel
Caudill.  All three were old men, between 60 and 70 years; and the cancer was
on the face of each about the same place, and in each case eat (sic) away
about half the face before death ensued."

From the Thursday December 31, 1925 edition of "The Wilkes Journal":
