Background
Sergeant David Beryl Biddle (8/16/1914 - 12/19/1974) was born in Zion, Illinois to Allison Harry and Lula Mae Biddle. On June
4, 1937 he married a classmate named Kathleen Helen Pratt, an immigrant from Saskatchewan, Canada. His own family had moved
from Missouri for the same reasons as the Pratts, to congregate at the Christian Catholic Church, known today as Christ Community
Church. A history of Zion, with information on the founder of the city and the church, was provided by the donor: http://www.zionhs.com/history.htm.
