The Westfield Republican, Westfield, Chautauqua Co., New York, Wednesday, September 3, 1902: Sidney M. Hosier, Ex-Treasurer of Chautauqua County; Passes Away at His Home September 1, 1902 Sidney M. Hosier, an ex-treasurer of Chautauqua county, and a wounded veteran of the civil war, died at his home on McClurg street, Monday afternoon, September 1, 1902 at 5:30 o'clock after an illness of 14 weeks duration, and would have been 59 years old if he had lived until October 21st of this year.
Mr. Hosier was the son of Isaac and Arvilla (Rogers) Hosier, and was born near Blockville in the town of Harmony, this county October 21, 1843. Here he spent his boyhood days and received a good common school education. In order to more fully fit himself for some business pursuit he went to Buffalo and took a course in Bryant & Strattion's Commercial and Business College, where he learned telegraphy and bookkeeping. On August 2, 1862, in the second year of the Civil war, he enlisted to Co. D. 112th Regiment, N. Y. Infantry, and served in the many severe marches and numerous hard battles of the Army of the Potomac until the siege of Petersburg, where on September 29, 1864, he lost his right arm by a gun-shot wound. He was sent to Hampton Roads hospital, where he remained for some time and then was transferred to the New York Central Park hospital and from there to Buffalo High Street hospital, and was honorably discharged from his country's service at Buffalo, on July 8, 1865. After returning home he became a telegraph operator at Randolph, on the Atlantic and Great Western railroad, where he remained six months and then resigned to have an operation performed on his shoulder for the removal of loose bones.
After recovering from the operation he was employed on several railroads until 1872, when he was appointed agent and telegraph operator at Clymer Station, on the W.N.Y. & P, railroad, which position he held until the spring of 1886, when he resigned on account of ill health and removed to this village. In the fall of 1887 he was elected treasurer of Chautauqua county for a term of three years, which expired December 31, 1890, when he returned to this village and built him a home, where he has since resided. He was collector of this town of Harmony for the year of 1888 and on February 20, 1894 he was elected Justice of the Peace for this town and was re-elected on February 15, 1898, and declined to run again last fall.
He was married on June 20, 1871, to Miss Anise [Alice] E. Gilmore of Portage county, Ohio, who survives him and she has the sympathy of the entire community in her bereavement.
Mr. Hosier was a member of the I.O.O.F. Chautauqua Lodge No. 3, A.O.U. W. and William Sackett Post, No. 324, G.A.R. He was a Republican from principle and had always given his party loyal support. The funeral will be held this afternoon and will be in charge of the G.A.R. and I.O.O.F. and will be largely attended as he was highly respected by all who knew him.
