D. A. Bigelow was one of Ames' first merchants, arriving in 1868. He had
served in the Civil War, with the final rank of Lieutenant Colonel in Company
A of the 124th Illinois Regiment. He was part of the firm of Bigelow, Huntington
and Tilden from 1869 to 1883. He served on the Story County Board of Supervisors
from 1878 through 1880 (when he was chairman). He died in 1890. This was
his home in the 1870s on Duff Avenue (where in 1995 are located the hospital
short stay and emergency facilities). Wallace Greeley purchased the lot from
the Bigelow estate in 1915.
Bigelow home on Duff from 1897 souvenir edition of the Ames Intelligencer.
Sarah Bigelow lived here for a number of years following her husband's (S.
E.) death in 1890. The house stood on the west side of Duff about where Mary
Greeley Medical Center's short-stay unit is today (1994). This house stood
until that part of the hospital was constructed.

A Margaret Moore Bigelow married August 24 1893 in Story Co, Iowa to a
Sidney G. Hamilton. Anyone have these people in their database.
Looking for their children.
Thanks for the info. It undoubtably is the same Margaret as Sidney
is buried in the Municipal cemetery also. She must have outlived him.
He died in 1923. Just in case you want to know, Sidney was the son
of Charles Hamilton (a Civil War Vet and buried in the same cemetery) and
Tennetta Hanson. Charles was born in NY.
1895 census states that Margaret and Sidney were Baptists. Sidney's father
was Protestant, yet 3 of his other children were Episcopal. Does anybody
know what religion Margaret's parents were?
1900 Iowa census lists Sidney G. and Margaret M. Hamilton of Story co,
with dau Alleen A. born Feb 1895.
I found out that Margaret Bigelow Hamilton died in 1948.
Margaret died May the 17th in Seattle, WA. Her spouse, Sidney died Feb
19th in Silver Bow, Montana! H.
I am still trying to get Margaret Bigelow Hamilton's obit from
another when I decided that their dtr: Alleen married a Phillips
and is the
one in the SSI who died in 1968. Today I rcd confirmation of that
through a
small obit that I have forwarded to you. It mentions a Ruth Bigelow
Smith.
Can you fit her in? Helen

Looking for a possible obit for a Alleen Phillips who died Sept 1968 according
to the SSI. Last residence Seattle.
The attached obituary was printed in the Tuesday, September 10, 1968 Seattle
Times. According to the obit (hard to
read), she was 73 at the time of her death. I hope the information
helps.
