Peoria County, Illinois Biographical Dictionary Portrait and Biographical Album
Richard J. Biederbeck.  The sons of the pioneers of Illinois are now as active in its interests as were their fathers before them, and have taken up and are successfully carrying forward the work so well begun by their sires in the development of the wonderful resources of this State.  The subject of this sketch is a fine type of these and already occupies a high position among the farmers and stock-raisers of this county, as the proprietor of a large and well managed farm on section 9, Millbrook Township.
     Mr. Biederbeck was born in Knox County, May 28, 1857, and is a son of the well known, William Biederbeck, a pioneer of this State whose biography appears on another page of this volume.  When Richard was quite young his parents removed to this county, and he gleaned a sound education in its public schools, and here grew to man's estate.  He had a decided taste for agriculture and adopted that calling for his life-work, and now has in his possession a well-improved farm of three hundred and forty-three acres of land that is under admirable tillage, and is provided with a good class of buildings, and with excellent farming machinery, and is well-stocked with cattle, horses and hogs of good grades.
     Mr. Biederbeck and Miss Emma L. Aby were united in marriage February 19, 1880, and they have established a charming home, to which the gracious kindness of the hostess and the genial courtesy of the host attracts a wide circle of friends.  Mrs. Biederbeck is a daughter of Elder Aby, a highly respected citizen of Millbrook Township, whose biography will be found on another page of this work.  The following is a record of the four children that have blessed the happy marriage of our subject and his wife:  Willie B., born March 4, 1881, Nellie E. in the month of February 1883; Alice L. in December, 1884; Ralph, January 3, 1887.
     Strong of character, keen in intellect, full of resource, Mr. Biederbeck is well-equipped for the battle of life, and he is meeting with unqualified success in his ventures.  The genuine interest that he feels for his adopted township, and the public spirit that he manifests are important factors in the promotion of its welfare.  He is now serving as School Director of District No. 5, and is contributing his quota in maintaining the excellent school system that has been established here.  He is a true Republican in his political views, and advocates with voice and vote the policy of his party.

SS has 14 with a last name of Biederbeck, all in Illinois but not any of these names.  Probably all related.
