George Biddis

Article date:	14/05/1891
Copyright:	Newbury Weekly News
Transciption:	GEORGE BIDDIS The late Mr. Biddis well deserved the cognomen of "Genial George," his kindly disposition making him a favourite among all with whom he was associated. His last song in public, a favourite one which he sung many years ago at the Christy Minstrels, was " Where are the Boys of the Old Brigade?" and, as one listened to the familiar words, it was impossible not to recall many of the old faces and forms who have gone over to the great majority since George first sang that song. Little, alas, did we think that evening when he was one of the jolliest of the party, that within a few short days he, too, would have gone to his rest. Among George's characteristics may be recalled his admiration of Eliza Cook's poems, which he generally quoted whenever called upon to make a speech, and also his love for animals. He seldom took his walks abroad without the company of his favourite dog, and was greatly indignant at the Order compelling dogs to be muzzled, being one of those who organised the demonstration of unmuzzled dogs, which paraded the streets in the early hours of the memorable Jubilee Day.
