Dear Mr. Bigelow,
My wife and I are the owners of a home in Allenhurst, NJ that was originally owned by Clarence Bigelow.  Clarence was the owner of Bigelow's Pharmacy in NYC until his death in 1938. That store is still in existence under the same name and is the oldest operating pharmacy in the country.
We are interested in knowing more about Mr. Bigelow's life.  We have found 2 newspaper obituaries (NY Times and NY Herald) that offers some information. Apparently, Mr. Bigelow started a Bank, and was involved with Columbia University as a Trustee of the College of Pharmacy. From what we have learned, Bigelow had one step daughter and some nieces and nephews.  If you have any further information about this individual, we would be interested in learning about it.  Conversely, I would be available to share what other information we have with you.
Thank you for your consideration.   Joe Tomaino   jtomaino@ttiarchitects.com
