I was researching my geneology for this line at the LDS web stie. Martha Janes Bigelow (Asa6.Abel5...) Martha Jane is my maternal ggggrandmother. If you are interested I have Scans of two obituaries for her I'll email them to the Webmaster. Since you do not
list the date she died it is July 20,1907 in Hubbardston, MA. This web site is one of the most extensive I've seen about a specific family. Keep up the good work. (see obits below) (see documentation below) also from David.
