James C. Sidle
son of John and Joanna (Carson) Sidle [see sketch of John C. Sidle], was born February 13, 1850, in Plain Township, Wayne Co., Ohio. He was married April 27, 1871, to Mina Tyler, of Plain Township, Wayne County, and by her has the following-named children: Cliffe, born July 27, 1873; Shirley, born August 19, 1879, and Riley Tyler, born April 27, 1887, all now living.
James C. Sidle has followed farming and stock growing in Plain Township, Wayne County, since he first commenced for himself. He is interested in the famous "Abdallah" and other fine breeds of horses, as well as Jersey cattle and improved blooded sheep, and took first premiums on his stallion "Foster" at the Wayne County Fair held at Wooster in 1887. Mr. Sidle is now living on the elegant farm formerly occupied by John Gillis, on Section 8, Plain Township. With the rest of the family, he is in politics a stanch Republican.
