"J. F. BARTHOLOMEW DEAD. Passed Away at His Home in Sidney After Months of Intense Suffering. Lived Here Since 1853."
J. F. Bartholomew died at his home in Sidney Wednesday morning after an illness of several months. He was a painter by trade and the remote cause of his death was lead poisoning. A few years ago he was unfortunate in being thrown from a wagon and sustaining a broken leg. This was attended to by the physician, but always gave trouble owing to the fact that his blood was more or less poisoned by absorbing so much lead from the paint.
Mr. Bartholomew was born near Quincy, Illinois, Feb. 3, 1848, and was therefore 53 years, 3 months and 22 days old. He lived in the state of his nativity only a few years and in 1853 moved with his parents to Fremont County where he has since resided. The greater part of the time he has been in Sidney.
He was married to Nancy J. Carter, March 16, 1879, who is a daughter of J. W. Carter and wife of this place. To this union was born one child, Otis, who lives in Hamburg.
John was known as an expert in this trade. His services were always in demand and hence his idle days were few. He gave himself untiringly to his vocation and in his intense ambition to satisfy and ever keep on the top rung of success he shortened his life. For some years he has been disqualified for any labor and has been a great sufferer. None but those who have been around him during this sicknes can know what he has endured. We cannot understand how one can pass through so much pain. It was a sweet relief when death came to end all. His faithful wife has been by his bedside from the beginning.
Deceased united with the Methodist church a number of years ago and of late renewed his faith in the future promises.
The funeral services were held at the house Wednesday afternoon conducted by Rev. O. W. Lippincott and interment took place in Sidney cemetery.
