As announced in the Citizen last week, James P. Tidwell died Wednesday Feb. 20, in his room in Hotel Richland where he was accustomed to spend the winter. Mr. Tidwell was born in 1839 and was therefore well past 84 years of age. He was a member of one of the old families of Giles County, his grandfather having settled at the place where J. J. Zuccarello now lives, more than a hundred years ago, perhaps within a year after a treaty with the Indians opened the western half of the county to settlement. He joined the Methodist Church many years ago, and lived a consistent life. When the Civil War came on in the sixties, Mr. Tidwell like more Southern men joined the Confederate army, and made a record as a soldier of which he was always justly proud. Mr. Tidwell raised a large family, nine daughters and one son. The son, Brown Tidwell passed away several years ago, but the nine daughters still survive, all grown up and married, and all except two residents of Giles County. Mrs. M. C. Spiveylives in Dallas, Texas, and Mrs. R. S. Lovell, lives at Spring Hill, Maury County. After funeral services at the Methodist Church Friday afternoon conducted by Rev. T. E. Hudson, Rev. M. S. Kennedy and Elder J. T. Clark, the body was taken to Moriah for burial, where all deceased members of the family repose.
