MRS. EDWARD BIDDLE DEAD
Vile Of Dallas Mayor Passes Away
After Brief Illness Of Pneu.
mOnia.

Mrs. Josephine L. Biddle, wife o
Mayor Edward Biddle, died at tn,
family home in this city SATURDAY
night after a brief illness of pneu
monia. She had been suffering from
the effects Of severe cold for severa
weeks, and, in her weakened con
dition, was unable to withstand the
ravages Of the dread disease. Hel
condition was critical for about fouI
days before her death. which occurred
just before midnight on Saturday.
The funeral was held from the M. E.
Church, Tuesday afternoon, and was
largely attended. A touching and
appropriate sermon was preached by
the pastor, Rev. A. G. Brackenbury.
The church was crowded to the doors
by friends Of the family, and many
persons were unable to gain admit
tance. The city council attended the
services in body, and many other
officers and ex-officers Of the city were
present The floral offerings were
many, and the casket was almost
hidden beneath the wealth of beautiful
flowers.
The pallbearers were E. C. Kirk
patrick, DR.. Mark Hayter, D. J. Riley,
DR.. b. L. Toney, r. L. Williams and
o. S. Grant. The services at the
grave were conducted by Naomi
Chapter No. %, Order of Eastern
Star, of which order Mrs. Biddle had
long been a member. The ceremonies
were very beautiful and impressive.
Mrs. Biddle was Of Puritan ancestry,
her parents being Mr.. and Mrs. Luther
Davis, Of Boston, Mass. She was
born in Boston, November 70, 1s43.
Her only brother was killed in the
Civil War. She was married to Ed
ward Biddle in Virginia City, Nevada,
October II, 1878. Her nearest sur
viving relatives are two half brothers,
living in Nevada. All of her other
relatives reside in Massachusetts.
Mr. and Mrs. Biddle came to Ore
gon in 1881 and settled in Dallas,
where Mr. BiddIe established a foundry
and machine shop. Four years ago
they built one Of the finest residences
in the city, and were spending their
declining years surrounded by every
luxury and comfort. Mrs. Biddle was
a lover of flowers, and possessed much
talent for painting and needle-work.
The walls of her home were adorned
with many beautiful specimens of her
handiwork. Mr.. and Mrs. Biddle's
handsome home was ever open to
their friends, and some of the most
enjoyable social entertainments ever
given in Dallas were held there.
Mrs. Biddle was a woman of many
fine qualities, and was held in high
esteem by all who knew her. She was
an earnest Christian, and had long
been devoted member Of the M. E.
Church. She took an active interest
in all movements for the uplifting Of
humanity and the betterment Of social
and moral conditions, and was a
loyal supporter of the church, the
Sunday school, the Dallas free library
and the local chapter OF the Order of
Eastern Star. She will be sadly
missed by wide circle of friends.
