Hiram ⁸ Bigelow

 
The cemetery pictured below is on the Chase Road in Brainardsville, NY , near Chateaugay (see below) and deep in the woods.
Hiram and his wife Mary Ann are buried there with some of their children and grandchildren that died young.
I did some research with the help of a lady in Brainardsville.
I found much about his children and marriages that was recorded in this woman's scrapbook.
One of the newspaper clippings shows one of Hiram's sons and one of his daughters attending Susie T. KENT BIGELOW's funeral in Ellenburgh.
Susie was my great grandmother and was a fascinating woman.
