LYDICK
Andrew W. Lydick died at the home of his son-in-law, H. P. VanDeren, on North Church street, Sept. 1, about two o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Lydick had been in declining health due to the infirmities of age for about two years, and during the past year was seldom able to leave the house.
He was a man of wonderful energy, and only the weakness of age could keep him from his accustomed haunts and an active interest in life.
He was born in Fayette county, Ky., on June 11, 1836, a son of Jacob and Mary Lydick. In 1869 he was married in this county to Miss Sarah F. Ammerman, who died on Sept. 18, 1917, not quite a year ago.
The surviving children are Mrs. Lena L. Ammerman, of Chicago; Mrs. Meddie Cook, of Bardstown, Ky.; Clifton S. Lydick, of Stroud, Okla.; W. A. Lydick and Mrs. H. P. VanDeren, of Cynthiana. Mrs. Laura Funk, of Georgetown, Ky., is a surviving sister.
Mr. Lydick had been a resident of Cynthiana for fifty years, one of the most widely known and successful auctioneers in Central Kentucky. His business gave him a wide acquaintance, and everywhere he was recognized as an upright, energetic man, genial and kindly, with a ready flow of wit that made him a favorite.
He united with the Christian church in 1845, and for many years was an officer in the church. He was a constant attendant at religious services and so long as his strength held out seldom failed to be found in his accustomed place. His interest in current affairs of life was keen.
In politics he was a Democrat of the old school, a staunch advocate of the principles in which he believed and a contender for purity in politics as well as in business and all the other avenues of life.
The death of this excellent citizen, kind and indulgent husband and father, christian gentleman, will be learned with regret by friends wherever he was known, and for many a year pleasant memories. of "Andy" Lydick will linger with those who knew him best.
The funeral was held at Mr. VanDeren's residence Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock, with services by his pastor, Rev. Jos. D. Armistead. The burial was in Battle Grove cemetery.
The pall bearers were Robt. Ammerman, Merritt Ammerman, Neal Ammerman, J. J. Curle, Louis Conrad, Will Smith.
Mr. Lydick's grandson, Clifton Ammerman, died in Chicago Wednesday morning of last week, as told in this paper, and the funeral was held at Mr. VanDeren's residence on Friday morning.
