Biography

Born 07 Oct 1849. ,,NY,USA

Died aft 1920.

Occupation: jeweler.

Perhaps married 2nd about 1886 to Lulu Landen (in 1900 and 1920 census). Daughters Ruby (b. abt 1888) and Pearl (b. abt 1892). FindAGrave # 65150670 seems to be for this Sidney H. Stocking, listed as a jeweler, born about the right date, but in Wisconsin rather than NY. No mention of a first marriage. Died in 1931 in Kankakee Co, buried in Chebanse, Iroquois Co, IL.

Obit at the FindAGrave site does not mention Catherine McCluskey as first spouse. Photo I took in West Side Cem, Moweaqua, Shelby Co, IL, of Catherine's monument reads "wife of Sidney Stocking."

I am not sure of the death date, burial place, OR this other marriage. Nothing new found as of 8/2021.
