| Notes |
From "Two Hundred Years With The Siders" compiled by Harold Sider and Ron Sider -
Moses and Anna were both born in Bertie Township into German speaking homes. Anna was a sister to Barbara Sherk, wife of Christian Sider, and from a Mennonite home. Moses and Anna were among the children of John Sider who settled in Wainfleet Township. Their farm was the north half of Lot 36, Concession 5, adjacent to his sister Barbara Smith's farm.
Moses was also a faithful member of the Tunker Church, and was chosen to be one of the ministers, along with his brother Christian. He may have been somewhat better educated, judging from his handwriting in English. Although Moses had only one son who survived, he raised as a daughter Lavina Hunsburger, or Hunsberry, born 1853, who later became the wife of Jacob D. Sider. Moses and Anna also provided a home for Anna's unmarried sister, Mary Sherk.
Moses was a successful farmer and minister, although he died at the relatively young age of 50 years.
