    David Riddell, Former Resident Here, For 32 Years In Railway Service, Died In Chicago Hospital on Tuesday

    David Riddell, member of a family of early residents of DeKalb county and whose father was engaged in farming in Cortland township and were former residents of Sycamore, died at the Garfield Park hospital in Chicago on Tuesday, Feb. 6, just eight weeks after he was injured in a railway accident in Chicago.

    He had been employed for many years as a trainman, and was engaged in his work as conductor, when the coach on which he was standing side-swiped by a locomotive and precipitated down an embankment.

    As soon as possible after the accident one leg, which was terribly crushed, was amputated. The patient rallied, and appeared to be on the road to recovery when a blood-clot formed in the limb and although the most skilled surgeon specialists attended him he continued to fail.

    He was a son of France Riddell, and was born in 1866. He had been employed to railroad work for 32 years. He was united in marriage to Miss Minnie Townsend, daughter of a well known pioneer of this county and they had made their home In Chicago. To them was born one son, Walter, now 15 years of age. Besides the widow and son he leaves surviving three brothers and two sisters: Walter Riddell, super- about 12 o’clock on his way to the (sic) Wallace Riddell, Chicago, and Frank W. Riddell, chief of police of DeKalb; Mrs. Anna Sagle, Aurora, and . Mrs. Minnie Helming, Chicago.

    Mr. Riddell was a member of Chapter No. 52, R. A. M. and A. F. & A. M. No. 144 of DeKalb, and was also a Knight Templar.
