      CHIDESTER, Erastus
      [Husband of Lydia nee SACKETT]
      ca 1789 to 10 Mar 1866; age 77y

      Died in Rivoli, Mercer County, Ill., on the 10th of March, 1866, Erastus
      Chidester, in the 77th year of his age
      Mr. C. was born in Cornwall, Litchfield C. Conn. At the age of 13 he

      hopefully pious and united with the Congregational church in Canfield, and

      conscientious scruples, he was led to transfer his relation to the Methodist
      Episcopal Church, in which he lived a worthy, devoted member until he removed
      to Illinois about two years since. As to his moral and christian character,
      he was considered by all who were acquainted with him as being "without
      spot." He always manifested a spirit of liberality towards other christian
      denominations. He was evidently a man of faith and prayer. "Blessed are
