DR. G. A. BIDDLE DEAD
Dr. G. A. Biddle died at 4 o’clock this morning in Christ hospital in Topeka, of an acute kidney disease. Three weeks ago today he was taken to Topeka, with the expectation of having an operation performed, but this was not done. Although he had not been confined to his bed till ten days before going to Topeka, he had not been in the best of health for some time. Last year, with Mrs. Biddle, he took a trip through Texas, and returned much benefitted (sic) in health.
Until the arrival of the daughter and only child, Mrs. Seymour Davis, of Philadelphia, no funeral arrangements will be made. Mrs. Davis is on her way home from Egypt, and is expected to arrive in New York next Thursday. When her father’s condition became critical she was cabled, and started home on the first boat. Until she arrives the body will be kept in a receiving vault in Topeka. It is probable interment will be made in Indiana, and that the body will not be brought here.
George Allen Biddle was born in Putnam county, Ind., sixty-three years ago. At the beginning of the Civil war he was a mere lad of sixteen, but his brother had gone to war, so he ran off and followed him and enlisted in the Twenty-First Indiana Infantry. At the close of the war, perhaps from experience he had gained in it and no doubt because he came from a line of medical men, he entered Bellevue Hospital Medical College in New York, and in 1869 he was graduated from it. Two years after his graduation he was married to Alice Long, and for eight years practiced medicine with her father. Then with his wife he moved to Texas, where he practiced a year, and in 1879 he came to Emporia.
For a number of years after coming here the Biddles lived at 17 Merchant Street, and then they moved to the Hood house at 527 State, which they subsequently bought. Last year they began the erection of a handsome new home on the site of the house in which they had lived for so many years, and into this house they had just moved when Dr. Biddle was taken sick.
Dr. Biddle was of a tiring disposition, yet so gentle, kind and charitable that, coming into intimate relation with hundreds of people through his profession, he was a force in the community. It was this gentleness and thoughtfulness for others that makes the community as a whole mourn his death, as the departure of a gentle life that might well have been left to enjoy the fruits of his years of labor and service to others. For he had been successful in his profession, and four beautiful farms west of town, besides valuable town property, are left as a monument to this success. His farms were his delight, and scarcely a Sunday passed that he didn’t visit and enjoy them.
He was public spirited, and from 1891 to 1893 served as mayor of Emporia. He brought the same intelligence and earnestness that made him successful in his profession to the office, and as mayor caused the first sanitary sewer of the present system to be built, and turned over the office to James Smith, his successor, with the city free from debt. He was an active Mason, being a Knight Templar, and had filled all the offices of honor of the Masonic bodies. He had belonged to the G.A.R., and had served as president of the Lyon County Medical Association.
His brothers, Dr. T. C. Biddle, of Topeka, Judge Biddle, of LaPorte, Ind., his wife and her brother, Dr. Long, of Indianapolis, were with him at his death. Another brother lives in Texas. Dr. T. F. Foncannon, who with Dr. Oliver Corbett, has attended him during his sickness, was with, in Topeka last night, as was W. R. Irwin. Mrs. S. H. Warren, Mrs. Charles Jackson and Mrs. F. O. Lakin, neighbors of the Biddles, went to Topeka this afternoon.
