General Notes: Husband - William Macfunn Biddle


He was educated in the common schools of his native town and in Dickinson College, having been graduated from that ancient seat of learning in 1873, before he was eighteen years of age. For about ten years he was the assistant to his father in the office of secretary and treasurer of the Cumberland Valley Railroad Company, and upon the death of the latter, in 1889, was chosen as his successor and held the double position as long as he lived, the terms of father and son covering a continuous period of more than sixty-four years. He was a man of fine intellectual ability and a cultured musician.
