AMIDON at his home near Shell City, Minnesota, Sunday; July 13th, Mr. Allidon Amidon, aged 78 years. Mr. Amidon was born in Essex County, New York, Sept. 4th, 1811. After living in Wadena County some years, most of the time in Verndale, he removed to his farm on
First Prairie a few years ago,where he has since lived.
He has been ill for several months and at times suffered greatly. Early in life Mr. Amidon made a public profession of his faith in Christ.
Up to the time of his death he trusted in his Savior and like Paul, looked forward with joy to the time when he should receive the crown of life at the last.
He was of good courage, and willing rather to be absent from the body and be at home from the Lord. His wife and children are bereft of a husband and father and they, with his many friends mourn for him, but not as those who have no hope.
The funeral services were held at the house Monday afternoon by the Rev. Conard.
The remains were taken to Verndale for internment.
Enterprise, July 18, 1890.

We feel sad to note the death of Mr. A. Amidon. We have lost a kind, good neighbor, but our loss is his gain as he told his friends; he was "waiting for the rest that awaits the faithful". (Reference: Hubbard Bulletin).
