Typed as written (Armourdale community is a district in the lower part of the Kansas River valley in Kansas City, ... Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas)- "A Fatal Fall. -- Last Thursday afternoon, Geo. D. Biggs, of this city, while at work on a bridge in Kansas City, Kansas, slipped and fell to the street, a distance of twenty-five feet, breaking his arm and shoulder and injuring him so badly otherwise that he died Sunday afternoon. He did not recover consciousness after the accident. Mrs. Biggs went to Kansas City as soon as she heard of the mishap. The remains were brought to the city Tuesday morning and the funeral exercises were held at the M. E. church Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Mr. Bushnell, assisted by Revs. Stauber and West, conducting. Mr. Biggs was born in Illinois in 1860 and came to Kansas with his parents in 1880. About that time he learned the trade o bridge building, which business he followed to the time of his death. For some time he has been in the employ of the Canton Bridge Company as their agent and contractor for southern Nebraska and northern Kansas. He was a skillful and careful workman. The last words he spoke were cautions to his men to be careful where they stepped least they might fall. He was a man of noble character and had the highest respect of everybody. Seven years ago he was married to Miss Sarah Bland, of Buffalo township, who with two children, one two years old and the other but six months, remain to mourn their irreparable loss. The funeral was very largely attended, the Y.M.C.A., Carpenter's Union and Odd Fellows, of which societies he was an honored member, attending in bodies. Mr. Biggs was a member of the Presbyterian church of this city, and whenever his duties permitted him to be at home he was a faithful attendant upon its services. His unique but practical talks in the prayer meeting will not be forgotten by those who had the privilege of hearing them. His was a consistent Christian life. The bereaved wife and children have the sympathy of everybody." Concordia Empire - Concordia, KS - August 7, 1890:
