Born 7 July
1882 at Neosho Falls, Woodson County, Kansas
Died 22
December 1918 at Parsons, Labette County, Kansas
Truman was
the first of six children born to John Wesley Bidwell and Cora Janette Bryan Bidwell. He was raised at Neosho Falls where his
father was a merchant. Truman married to Inez Anna Grimes on 7 July 1908 at
Iola, Kansas. They made their home at Parsons where he was a clerk at
Matthewson Hotel and Matthewson Hotel Cigar Stand and Billiard Parlor. Like
millions of people all over the world, he was felled swiftly as a result of the
Influenza Pandemic. Truman and Inez were the parents of three children; Merle
Bernice Bidwell, and twins, Lucille Kathryn Bidwell and Louise Marie Bidwell. Truman
was buried at Oakwood Cemetery at Parsons. He was John More Association cousin
#51421 and my fourth cousin twice removed.
*Note-I presume he was named for his paternal grandfather, Truman Chamberlain Bidwell.
