He was prominent in the settlement of San Bernardino, was in the High Council, and did a lot of freighting between California and Utah, including bringing some of the materials that were used in the construction of the Tabernacle, and the first organ for the Tabernacle, which was a gift from the Saints in Australia.
One time Sidney was on the road returning to California and was stopped by the men involved in the Mountain Meadows massacre; they prevented him from passing until after darkness fell, then conducted him around the scene.
He was one of the earliest settlers of Beaver and has done much to build up that place. Sidney became prominent in business, civic and religious affairs. When Beaver was incorporated in 1867, he was elected one of the first councilmen. He also became a counselor to Bishop M. L.
