Obituary

Sidney Antle of near Exeter, passed away on Wednesday, Dec 16, 1914. He had been in feeble health for several months and was unable to survive his dreaded pneumonia.

He was born in Henderson County, Kentucky, July 17, 1837, where he lived until 16 years of age. The family moved to North Missouri and a few years later to Southwest Missouri where the remainder of his life was spent.

He was converted in early manhood at the New Hope Baptist Church and became a member of that congregation.

He was married to Margaret J. Price, on Dec 23, 1880 and to this union five children were born, Mrs. W. M. Warren of Exeter, Charles of New Mexico, O. G. of Exeter, and Arthur and Clarence of Tulsa, Okla. The widow and children are left to mourn the departure of a faithful husband a worthy father.

In 1862 he enlisted in the Confederate army and served until the close of the Civil War.

He became a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Concord and was ordained a Ruling elder in which capacity he served for thirty-four years. He was as faithful to his church as to his family and often gave liberally of his money and his strength that the cause which he loved might prosper. In all his work he was quiet and unassuming and was characterized by a humility becoming a follower of the Man of Galilee. He was an ardent supporter of the Union of the Cumberland Presbyterian church with the mother church. Because of his views he was deprived of his time honored place of worship and fellowship in the old congregation where he worshiped for so long. He bore his loss with the courage of a good soldier and passed to his reward at the rape age of seventy-seven years, rich in loved ones and friends. Funeral services were conduct in the Concord Church in the presents of a large congregation while his body lay at he very alter where he was ordained a ruling elder 34 years ago. His body was laid to rest in the cemetery near by.
