GRESHAM WOMAN IS DEAD

Mrs. W. R. Biddle, Victim of Cancerous Growth

GERSHAM, Or., March 10.—(Special)—Mrs. Stella C. Biddle, wife of W. R. Biddle, died yesterday at her home in Gresham. Mrs. Biddle has been a sufferer from cancer for some time, and her death was not unexpected. Mr. Biddle came to Gresham about a year and a half ago. Last year Mrs. Biddle taught the Cedar School and also assisted in her husband's store.

About six months ago it became certain that she was afflicted with cancer. Every effort was made to stay the disease, but without avail.

Some time ago she made arrangements for her funeral.

The services will be held at the chapel of the Portland Crematorium at Sellwood, and will be conducted by Rev. Melville T. Wire, of Gresham, and Rev. C. C. Rarick, of Portland.
