   SIDNEY S. TRUEMAN, architect and general contractor of Ports-
mouth, N. H., is a prominent business citizen and has been active in all that
pertains to the welfare of the community.  He is a member of the Board of
Trade, and is serving on the board of trustees of the local Y. M. C. A.  Mr.
Trueman was born in Nova Scotia, Oct. 1, 1869, and is a son of Albert and
Caroline (Jollymore) Trueman, native of Nova Scotia, and now residents
of Portsmouth.  Sidney S. is the second of a family of six children, the
others being: Stanton M.; Edward A.; Jessie, wife of William St. Onge;
Frank W.; and Dora, wife of Clarence Smith.
   Sidney S. Trueman was primarily educated in the public schools of Hali-
fax, Nova Scotia, and after leaving school learned the trade of carpenter at
Portsmouth.  Imbued with a desire to progress in the world, his ambition led
him to pursue the study of architecture.  He has an established prestige
throughout this section of the state as an architect and general contractor,
but his work has been chiefly in Rockingham County.  He maintains an
average force of twenty men.
   Mr. Trueman was in 1893 married to Miss Selia Hubley, a native of
Nova Scotia and a daughter of Alexander and Ellen Hubley, and the fol-
lowing children have blessed their union: Fay, Nina, Norma, Albert and
Dora.  Religiously the family attends the Episcopal Church.  Mr. Trueman
is a thirty-second degree Mason, and is a member also of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, and the
Royal Arcanum.
