Descendant note:
     I am a descendant of Martha Spring Bigelow, daughter of Isaac Bigelow and Angeline Prentice. Isaac Bigelow's parents were John Bigelow and Lydia Spring. Martha Spring Bigelow married Henry Schellinger and both lived in Wisconsin. They had a daughter Mary Ellen Schellinger, my great grandmother. She married John Cobin Martin from Mains of Craig Hall, Kennethmont, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. His family came from Scotland in 1852. He was one of five brothers that were veterans of the Civil War.
     I really appreciate all of the information that you have on the Bigelows. Being in Virginia does not allow me to research much from Massachusetts. I find that this area has a lot for people from this area but is extremely limited regarding other states.
     What do you know of a Thomas Warren, settler of Jamestown, Virginia? I understand that the Mayflower Richard Warren can not be officially researched to the John Warren Line?
     The Schellinger line goes back to the beginnings of New York state and has a "coat of arms" as well.

Mr. George Washington Bigelow died in 1910 in Saskatoon at the age of 87. Mr. Bigelow was originally from Palmira, New York. The headstone is of blue marble on a sandstone base and is quite weathered. The inscription reads "God's finger touched him and he slept". The text on the east face of the monument reads:

The base is carved BIGELOW. There is a book carved at the top of the pillar and ivy is carved on the sides at the top. Since this photograph was taken the pillar has been placed back on the base. The name carved on the base is facing south while the monument text is facing east.

I so very much appreciate all the work you have done on the Bigelow families.
I need to help you with your entry on this family....http://bigelowsociety.com/rod/isa655d1.htm
Their Otis Ware Bigelow died as a child, I believe.
The information you have for him is incorrect ....it is for:

Otis Bigelow b- 24 Aug 1819 & d- 13 Sept 1877, buried in Country Corners Cemetery, Clayton County, Iowa.
Son of John (James) & Statira Bigelow.
Husband of Alvina Odessa Deuel, married 1873. She was daughter of Benjamin and Lorinda (Sabin or Tabin) Deuel and born 10 July 1843 in NY state. She was previously married to William Gordon, who died 25 Nov 1871. Otis died 13 September 1877 at Putnam township, Fayette, IA and is buried near Strawberry Point, IA. His widow died on 05 March 1923 at Madison, IA and is buried at same place (County Corners Cemetery).
From the Adjutant General:
Bigelow, Otis.- Age, 43 years. Enlisted, August 28, 1862, at Genesee Falls, New York, to serve three years; mustered in as private, Co. D, 136th New York Inf., September 25, 1862; transferred to Co. I Fourth Regiment, Veteran Reserve Corps, subsequent to April 21, 1865; discharged, July 31, 1865, at Camp

Children:

1) Otis Arthur b-05 Mar 1874; d-24 Aug 1945; m Edith Pearl Phelps, 2 children

2) Fred E. Bigelow b-23 March 1877; d-27 Dec 1924 West Union, IA; m (1) 28 Nov 1900 Isa Mae Tremaine, d 01 Oct 1914, (2) 20 March 1917 Lulu Fern Tremaine

It is odd because Otis Bigelow was born & died in 1877 in Portage, Iowa, while it is possible that the other Otis Ware Bigelow was born in Portage, Livingston, New York because it is about 45 minutes away from Palmyra and Seneca Falls, New York.

1555D.15 Otis Ware, b ca 1819 Portage, NY; d __ Sept 1877 Elkander, Clayton co, IA; m 29 May 1873 Alvira O' Gorden (AKA Alvira Deuel Gorden) Otis enlisted in Aug 1862 Union Army at Genesee Falls, NY, at age 43.
Cemetery records found by Neva M. Robinson 1985 (Strawberry Pt., IA; County Corners) Shows 2 children:

1555D.151 Otis Arthur, b _ Mar 1874 Elkander, Clayton co, IA; d ___ 1946;

1555D.152 Fred E., b _ Mar 1877 Elkander, Clayton co, IA; d ___ 1924; son Kenneth Bigelow;
More from Dianne:
Nancy Marie Bigelow Love married Andrew Love in Illinois
b- 2 Feb 1814 Seneca Falls, Seneca, New York
d- 27 Nov Mona, Juab, Utah
There is a large monument there now but she was buried with the headboard of their bed for a marker. She delivered a premature baby boy at 5 1/2 months and she died 20 minutes later.

Catherine Ann Bigelow b-20 Jan 1826 d- 9 Aug 1856 in Alameda County, California. She married William Henry Souther 18 Sept 1844 in Moultrie County, Illinois.

Ellen Augusta Bigelow married Dorus Steven 21 April 1831 in Macon County, Ill.

And the information you have on George Washington Bigelow being buried in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada in 1910. How do we know this is his grave? Was there more information there at the cemetery that would help identify him? I have been searching for him for a long time.
