The Late Charles Sidney.

The remains of the late Charles Sid
ney. who died in 4 Lewiston hospital
at I y. NJ. Tuesday, were received
here on the late train that night and
taken to the undertaking rooms of
Folsom & Nutting on Madison avenue.
They were taken to the South ceme-
terry at 3 p NJ. Wednesday and prayer
was offered at the grave by Rev. Fred
A. Leitch. pastor Of the Centenary
church, Of which Mr.. Sidney was a
member, and next Sunday evening a
memorial service will be held in the
veStry.
Charles Sidney was not his real
name. He was a native of Finland and
followed the sea. He shipped on a voy-
age and landed in Portland about the
time of the big fire. In common with
other men of his calling he went to a
sailors bOrding house kept by one
Cart. Jordan. But this man was I'M
kind to him and eventually he went
to the sailors boarding house run bv
Captain John Sidney. In shipping
Charley, Captain Sidney booked him
AS Sidney" and the name always
stuck to him. As a matter Of fact his
first name was always Charley.
For three years or such matter his
headquarters were in Portland. Then
Captain John Sidney went to Booth
bay HarhOr and to Southport and
Charley went with him. But in the win
ter time he did not work and meeting
IN Southport Miss Bigelow, now Mrs.
|addie Brown. arrangements were
made whereby he came to Skowhegan
ana for is nff ho ~
his home with Mrs. Prudence BigeIow
on the road To Malbon's Mills Then he
came into town and for eight years
boarded with Mr.. and Mrs. Odel Bcr-
ry. For the past 16 months he had been
a ledger at Mrs. Browns home on
Madison avenue.
Mr.. Sidney was naturalizcd just in
time to vote for James \. Garfield for
President, receiving his papers three
days before the election. He was known
and well liked 10y nearly everyone in
town with whom he came in contact.
His occupation the last few years was
general jObbinG and he met his death
in rather peculiar manner He was
moving a lawn for Il lady and was
asked by her to do some odd job. In this
he had occasion to use wrench. This
slipped off the nut and struck him on
tn" knuckle, tearing Oft Il piece of skin
not larger than a silver scent piece.
The lady placed piece of sticking
plister over the wound and nothing
more was thought Of the incident. But
the arm began to swell and pain him
until last saturday when he consult
ed physician for the first time.
He was obliged to 60 to a hospital
and left on the 1926 train last Monday
noon for Lewiston as has been stated
in the Journal. 1t was considered nee
essary when he left that the arm
must be amputated. but he died be-
fore there was time to do this. Without
doubt had he consulted a physician at
once he would be living today.
He had no relatives in this coun-
try and 50 far as is known none in
Finland His age was in the vicinity
Of 63.
