Note:
I am inquiring about a Spencer Bigelow in Holly MI. We have a Spencer buried in the Bigelow cemetery. My daughter and I were browsing in the Olive Branch cemetery just two miles east of the Bigelow cemetery and found a Spencer Bigelow buried there.  They were about the same era, sorry I don't have a date. any help you can offer will be helpful.
