6107. “Charles Zorn Sidles,” Find-A-Grave, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6223845, 6223845.
CHARLES Z. SIDLES, who is well and favorably known as one of the enterprising and prosperous farmers of Palmyra Precinct, operates 320 acres of good land on section 22. He was born in Somerset County, Pa., in October. 1838, and was the fourth of nine children born to Daniel and Catherine (Zorn) Sidles, both of whom were natives of Pennsylvania. By occupation his father was a blacksmith, but became an extensive land-owner in Pennsylvania. In 1850 he removed to Stephenson County, Ill., and continued to work at his trade, and later lived a retired life in Dakota, Stephenson County, where he died in 1879, at the age of seventy years. His wife, the mother of our subject, is still living, and is seventy-four years of age, and is making her home with her daughter, Mrs. Springman, of Palmyra Precinct. The family record gives the names of the children of this family as follows: Emeline M., Henry, Charles Z., Frank A., Sarah, Julia, Rebecca, Mary and Daniel. The education of our subject was limited to two terms, when he attended the usual institution in Stephenson County. He early began to help his father and to work upon the farm, which he continued until he came of age. He then took and operated a farm on shares in Stephenson County. He received the hand of Miss Sarah Lowery in marriage in that county on Oct. 25, 1860. This lady is the daughter of Godfred and Mary Ann Lowery, both born in Pennsylvania; they were the parents of five children, their daughter Sarah being the eldest. She received a good English education and a careful home training, that has borne fruit since she has had a home of her own. They are the parents of the following children: Emily Alice, Ellen Jennie, Clara A., Laura A., Lillie and Willie. The three eldest children of our subject were born before the war, which broke out while Mr. and Mrs. Sidles were residing upon their farm near Freeport.
In 1864 Mr. Sidles enlisted as a private for a term of three years, or during the war, as required. He became a member of Company E, 46th Illinois Infantry, and was mustered into service at Baton Rouge, was present at Vicksburg, from which place they went to Shreveport, La. During his term of service he was with his regiment in Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Alabama. He was at Mobile at the time of Lee's surrender, and was present at the blowing up of Ft. Fisher, and was mustered out of service at Baton Rouge, in July, 1866.
Returning home Mr. Sidles sold out his interest in eighty acres of land in Stephenson County, the purchaser being his brother Frank. In 1878 he went to Livingston County, Ill., and became the owner of a farm of 120 acres, which he sold in 1884, and in the spring of that year came to this State.
Of the family of our subject, Alice has become the wife of Samuel Tanner, and is the mother of one child, whose name is Charles; Ellen has become Mrs. Arthur Thompson, and she also has a son, bearing the name Charles; Clara is the wife of Clarence Frye, a florist at Lincoln, and Laura is married to Mr. Berry, of Lincoln. Mrs. Sidles is a member in good standing of the Methodist Episcocal Church, and is held in high regard. The political sympathies of out subject lead him to affiliate with the Republican Party, of which he is an ardent supporter.
Charles Zorn Sidles and Sarah Elizabeth Lowry were united in marriage in Stephenson Co., Illinois on October 25, 1860. His siblings were: Emeline M., Henry, Frank A., Sarah, Julia, Rebecca, Mary and Daniel.

It is only fitting that two people who were so much in love and had spent nearly 75 years together in marriage be remembered together as one. Norman and Lois passed from this Earth into God's hands almost simultaneously, Lois on February 21, 2009, and Norman on February 26, 2009. They would have celebrated 75 years together this May 30.
Norman was born into a family with 9 brothers and sisters. Lois was born into a family with 6 brothers and sisters. Both were of farming families north of Morrowville. Both were Morrowville Rural High School graduates. Norman enjoyed music and on-stage experiences having won his high school competition in a "Charleston" contest and having had extensive participation in Masonic Lodge, Eastern Star, and Shrine leadership roles later in life. Lois excelled in basketball at MRHS having played on championship teams of the early 30's. She also joined Norman in many Eastern Star and Shrine activities.
Norman and Lois were truly a team. They worked together in farming and their businesses and seemed to share everything. Their marriage endured because they loved each other and were totally committed. Where one may be weak, the other was strong -- a perfect partnership.
They never forgot their roots, often reminiscing about their early married-life experiences in Haddam, on the farm, at Sunrise, and in Washington. Though they outlived most of their peers there are many second generation offspring that are still around to remember their willingness to reopen their business if someone ran out of gas or needed a minor repair.
Norman loved to sing and did play some string instruments like the banjo. Lois' favorite song was Norman's rendition of "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" which he would sing to her on special occasions.
Lois was the perfect control mechanism for Norman for he had no fears and his body bore the scars to prove it. One such scar was the missing ring finger on his right hand -- lost putting hay in the barn. He jokingly would wiggle this stub to show some young niece or nephew or grandchild what could happen to them if they didn't behave. Lois, in her own discreet way, would often bring Norman back from some dangerous precipice in life -- thus the perfect combination.
Their lives were truly exemplary. They openly tried to set good examples, especially for their daughter, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Through their Church, their social and civic activities, and their businesses, they touched many lives in a good way.
Lois M. Lull, 96, of Washington, passed away Saturday, February 21, 2009 at the Homestead Nursing Home in Washingon. Norman H. Lull, 98, of Washington died February 26, 2009 at the Homestead.
Graveside services for both were held at 10:30 a.m., June 5, at Hickory Grove Cemetery (Blocker).
Lois was born June 18, 1912 at Steele City, NE, the daughter of Arthur Clay and Jennie May Price Griffing. Norman was born December 5, 1910, the Son of Allen and Maggie Mae Wright Lull.
Lois was preceded in death by her parents, three brothers, Charles, Carl and Leo Griffing, and two sisters Nora Whittington and Zelma Monia. Survivors included Norman, one sister Alma Turner. Norman was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Lois, four brothers, Orloff, Everett, Franklin, and Kenneth Lull and five sisters, Pearl Lull, Eva Reinecke, Laura Long, Velma Allen, and Elizabeth Bole. Both were also survived by their daughter, Pat Barnes and husband Roy, three grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
During the evenings of May 30, their anniversary, and again on this June 18th, Lois' birthday, listen very closely, look up, eyes to the heavens, you'll surely hear an old banjo and a clear tenor voice singing "Let - me- call- you- sweetheart".
A memorial fund has been established to the United Methodist Church in Washington. Contributions may be sent in care of Ward Funeral Home.
