SIDLER, William C.
===========================================================================
William C. Sidler, son of Jonathan and Agnes (Frazier) Sidler, natives of
Pennsylvania, was born in Northumberland Co., Pa., Feb. 8, 1844. When he
was nine years of age, his parents came to Kalamazoo County, this State,
where he worked on his father’s farm. He received a good common-school
education, and Feb. 26, 1873, he was married, at Schoolcraft, same county,
to Miss Mary Judson, daughter of Albert and Mary Judson, natives of
Connecticut and Nova Scotia respectively. They emigrated to Kalamazoo
County, where Mary was born, March 19, 1850, and where she received a good
education in the district schools.

After marriage Mr. Sidler managed his father’s farm until the spring of
1883, when he moved to this county and settled on a farm of 70 acres of
fine land, in the vicinity of Hesperia. He has a fine residence, costing
$4,500. Mr. Sidler is a staunch Republican, and although he has been here
but a short time, he is destined to be one of the most prosperous farmers
of Denver Township. Mr. and Mrs. Sidler have had three children, all
deceased: the eldest, a girl, died in infancy; Roy W., born Aug. 14, 1876,
died Nov. 17, 1877; Mildred K., born Feb. 22, 1879, died Sept. 15, 1881.
