Could anyone help with information about Joseph A. BIDDISON of Rock Island who was named in Rock Island Argus on Mon., 28 Dec 1868? The article states that a 2nd wife of my great grandfather was "formerly an inmate" with the Joseph A. BIDDISON family. Subsequent information shows that the couple were married at the BIDDISON home. The expression "formerly an inmate" seems unusual. Was this a boarding house? Thanks for helping. Kathryn Jennings
