Black male, born around 1884 in Georgia. He died at about the age of 47, on 3 September 1931, at 8th Avenue and Aragon Street in Pensacola, FL, which was his residence. He was single at the time of his death, and he had suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis for a year and influenza for six months – these were the causes of his death. He worked as a laborer on the waterfront, and had lived in the city for 20 years. He was buried in the Escambia County Poor Farm on 10 September 1931 by T.M. Lloyd.
The only reference to this man I can find in written records is the 1927 Pensacola City Directory, which lists a John Biddle (c) laborer, living at 315 Salamanca St., Pensacola. There is no reference to him in another City Directory between 1911 and 1931, which would cover the twenty years he lived in the city.
The informant on his death certificate was Annie Kinchen, who lived at 809 North D Street. I have not yet found a relationship between the two.
