1910 census record for St Joseph Ward 5, Buchanan, MO, shows Herbert
Lyman Bigelow still living with parents and family
1920 census record for Coronado, San Diego, CA
shows a Herbert Lyman Bigelow age 3 10/12 (b. 1916 in IA)and listed as
a grand son to head of household living with:
Gertrude K Bigelow age 34 b. 1886 in IA as
daughter to head of household
Ada Florence Bigelow age 2 6/12 (b. 1917 in IA) listed as grand
daughter to Head
Dirk Kramer
age 68 (b.1852 in IA) listed as head of house.
Herbert Lyman does not show on this record. There is a WWI Draft
Registration Card for him so it is plausible he was still serving or
otherwise not available for the 1920 census. This registration
notes Herbert as being married with one child. Since Ada was born
about 1917 according to the same census it is most likely Gertrude was
pregnant when Herbert left for the military.
1930 census record for Berkeley, Alameda, California show the following
Herbert Bigelow head of household age of last birthday is 29 and
age of first marriage as 33 so obvious the ages are wrong.
Ethel J Calland age 35 (b. 1895 in
Nebraska) wife
Helen
age 5 (b. 1925 in CA) daughter
Lyman
age 3 (b. 1927 in CA) son
Helen Calland age 65
(b. 1865 in England) mother-in-law

Herbert, who was four years younger than Lou and two years younger
than sister Ada, is not mentioned in any of the family literature or
discussions. In Lyman Bigelow's A Self Biography, Herbert's father does
not once mention him. Neither does Herbert's name appear in the list of
surviving relatives in the San Diego newspaper obituaries for either
Lyman or Lou Goodale
Bigelow. During an interview conducted on October 2, 1985, Ms. Jeanette
Atkinson, former assistant to Ms. Bigelow, explained Herbert's peculiar
absence. He had become estranged from the family after "borrowing" a
large
sum of money from the Bigelow household and leaving his wife and
children
behind in Coronado. It was only after the deaths of Lyman, Ada, and Lou
Bigelow that Lou's sister Ada Tilly found Herbert in Ben Lomond,
California,
where he lived with his second family, a family the Bigelows never
knew.
According to Nadine Robinson, interviewed on October 5, 1985,
Nadine's mother Ada and her father settled kitty corner from the
studio. Herbert brought his family from Missouri, but soon left
Coronado under suspect
circumstances.
