BIDDLE CHILD IS
DEAD
Child was Reported to Have Had
Infantile Paralysis. Lela, the three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Monroe Biddle, of the Ekin community, died Saturday, night after an
illness of several months. It was reported that the child was afflicted
with infantile paralysis and that a small son of the family was also
afflicted. The cases attracted a great deal of attention. Lee Biddle, a brother of Monroe, was in
town Saturday and he told a Tribune reporter that it was a mistake
concerning the girl, she not being afflicted with paralysis, but had
been sick for a year, she suffering from a complication of diseases. He
also said there was thought to be an improvement in her condition. The
boy has paralysis and he also was reported to be better. The burial of the little girl took place
today, the funeral services being conducted at the late home at 10
o'clock Rev. Wimer of Kempton being the officiating minister. Burial at
the East Union cemetery.
