Virginia Sullivan asked her sister, Jan, for help identifying, but it sure looks like there are some members of the Shiek family in the photo. Do you know? Sure looks like my Grandpa Shiek behind Grandpa Bigelow and Marion. Maybe me with my Uncle Russ? and his daughter, Sally on the other end.??The lady between Grandma Bigelow and Agnes could be my Step-grandmother Gertie Shiek.?

Bigelow, Howard H. (page 763), is a respected citizen and prominent farmer of Elgin Township, was born in this township, May 4, 1880, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Bigelow. He was educated in the schools of the village and township, and until 21 years of age remained on the home farm, where he gained skill in agriculture. On coming of age he rented 200 acres of the farm from his father, which he operated on his own account until 1911. In that year he bought his first 80 acres, and has since purchased some land each year, now owning 400 acres in sections 28 and 29, Elgin Township. His improvements have kept pace with his land purchases and his place is well developed, the land productive and the buildings in good condition. As a general farmer he is adding to his own wealth and is a useful factor in the agricultural improvement of his township. In religion he is a Catholic, and belongs fraternally to the Knights of Columbus and the Modern Woodmen of America. Mr. Bigelow was united in marriage, October 7, 1908, with Matilda Schad, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Christian Schaad. Six children are the issue of this marriage, namely:
Leo H., born April 8, 1912;
Frank C., March 25, 1913;
Charles E., in November 1914;
Louis, June 25, 1916;

(Marion V. Tung, 89, passed away on March 26th, 2012. Visitation will be Private March 31st, 2012 at Three Trees Chapel location 13416 West Arbor Place Littleton, Colorado 80127).

George (Yun Ming) Tung was born on November 29, 1924 in a small village near Mukden, Mancheria, China. He passed away on December 28, 2016 after 92 years full of life.  He was predeceased by his loving wife of more than 50 years, Marion V. Tung (Bigelow).  He is survived by sons Lein, Andrew and Stephen, and his daughter, Alicia, their spouses and seven grandchildren.  George held degrees in law and economics and served the State of Colorado for more than 25 years, including 18 years as the Chief of Economic Research, in the governor’s office. He was honored with a Tribute from the Colorado State Senate for his accomplishments.
George enjoyed the outdoors and took his children on many adventures in the US and abroad. His devotion to his family and support gave his children many opportunities for further education and to embrace his love of the outdoors and travel. He was a prolific reader and skilled researcher. Even late in life, George’s sense of social justice remained strong as he often commented on the human condition both locally and abroad.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations to be sent to the National Park Service and Denver Botanic Gardens.
A memorial service will be held at Three Trees Chapel, 13416 West Arbor Place, Littleton, Colorado at 3:00 PM on Sunday, January 1, 2017.
As many of you know by now, Dad passed away. But I wanted to share a more personal note than the public one. Dad began to decline pretty quickly overnight on the 26th and throughout the next day. He had family with him 24hrs there after. Keeping him company. His eldest nephew flew in from Dallas to keep Dad company too. Dad passed away on Dec 28 at about 9:15 am. Lein and I were with him. He looked peaceful for quite a while before he passed. We all remarked how glad we were that he was in Minnesota last summer to spend a bit of time with you all. We are working on a memorial service similar to Mom's. Thank you everyone for your comforting words and kindness.
