lien. Dies in Home Near
Quiet Dell.

Following an illness of two months
caused by typhoid fever, Sidney Hay
mond, a prominent resident Of the
county, died in his home one and a
half miles north of Quiet Dell at .
o'clock Tuesday morning, in the
eighty third year of his age. The
news of his death though not unex-
posted was very painful to host Of
friends residing in various parts of
the county and especially sad to his
own community, where he was ven-
Grated by all.
Mr.. Raymond vas born near Quiet
Dell on the Raymond homestead De-
cember 5. 1929, and, he was a son of
Cyrus Raymond, who was a. son of
William Raymond, the pioneer Hay
mond settler in this section. Cyrus
Haymond, father of Sidney, was born
and reared on the Raymond farm and
he resided there all his rfe, the farm
descending to him from his father by
will and in turn to Sidney from his
father in the same way. William
tHaymond settled there in 1871 and
there has been no deed recorded in
connection with the farm since then.
William Raymond, s!dney's grand
father, was the counNSs first sur
veyor. Sidney Raymond was also a
county surveyor. He held other inn
portant public offices, including that
of the county surveyor. that of recor-
der of county court, that of commas
sioner OF the county or member of
the county court and that OF a mem-
her of the legislature. He was one
of the state delegates in connection
with the Chicago WoIld's Fair and
he spent much time there in assisting
in erecting and looking after the West
Virginia building.
Sidney Raymond and Miss Virginia
Dawson were married at an early
age. She is a daughter of Nathan
DAWSON. nSw deceased related to the
Coplins. the Boriugs, the Davissons
and other prominent families Of the
county. At the time of his death he
