J. T. SIDENER, physician, Jefferson, son of Lewis and Catharine Sidener, and grandson of the late David Sidener, of Jefferson Township, was born February 27, 1856. He received a common-school education while on his father's farm, and, at the age of nineteen, entered upon a business course at the Iron City Commercial College, of Pittsburgh, Penn., but finding this too confining he returned to the farm. On March 23, 1876, he was married to Mary E., second daughter of Robert and Ruth Fullerton, of Fairfield Township, and grand-daughter of the late John Johnson, of Range Township. Mr. Sidener followed farming until 1879, when he took up the study of medicine and the preceptorship of Dr. John N. Beach, of Jefferson, and, in September, 1880, he entered the Starling Medical College of Columbus, Ohio, taking a two years' course. He graduated March 23, 1882, settled in Jefferson and commenced the practice of his profession April 24, of the same year.
