Diphtheria Claims Mrs. Dan W. Biddle
Prominent Gilboa Township Woman Died Monday After Few Days Illness
Mrs. Jane Bartee Biddle, wife of Daniel W. Biddle, secretary-treasurer of the Remington Farmers Mutual Insurance Company, died at the family home in Gilboa township Monday morning after a few days illness with diphtheria. She was ill less than a week and her condition did not become alarming until a few hours before her death. A specialist from Lafayette was called into consultation with the family physician on Sunday and it was thought the crisis was past and her sudden demise was a great shock to member of the family and community.
There are not other cases of diphetheria in Gilboa township but as a precaution, the consolidated school was closed Tuesday morning to remain closed until after the Christmas vacation.
Jane Bartee Biddle, daughter of Charles and Jane Bartee, was born at Washington Heights, Illinois, March 29, 1874, and departed this life December 21, 1925, being therefore at the time of death, 51 years, 8 months and 22 days of age.
The parents, with their family, moved to Downers Grove, Ill., in March, 1875, where they remained until 1891, when they again moved, this time to Remigton, Ind. Here the daughter has since lived. She attended and graduated from the Remington high school with the class of 1895.
January 6, 1897, she was united in marriage to Daniel W. Biddle. To this happy union two sons were born both of whom survive. She united with the Remington Presbyterian church on confession of faith, July 13, 1894, and continued up to the time of her death to be one of its most faithful and active workers.
Mrs. Biddle was of English and Scotch parentage. The unanimous tribute of neighors and friends is that in spite of a natural fraility of health, she was always of an unusually sweet and cheerful disposition. The home which she and her husband founded seems to have been almost ideally happy. Probably in very few cases there exist such close bonds of sympathy and understanding between this husband and wife, and between this mother and her two sons.
She leaves to mourn her loss: her husband, two sons, Chester B. and Charles J. Biddle, her mother, Mrs. Jane Barteee; three sisters, Mrs. Albert Atwood and Mrs. W.J. Fell of Remignton and Mrs. E.R. Fell of Chicago; two brothers, Charles E. Bartee of Wichita, Kans., and Clarke T. Bartee of Lafayette; 7 nieces, 4 nephews; numerous other more distant relatives and a whole community of neighbors and friends shocked and grieved at the sudden and unexpected departure. Her father, one sister and two brothers have preceded her in death.
Funeral services were held from the family home two miles south of Remington Tuesday afternoon and burial was in the Remington cemetery.
