1) BIGELOW and
Pearl Eleanor HOFF (HAFF) was born 22
August 1915 Dannemora, Clinton co, NY. She married Arthur C. (Bud) WARREN
on 1 November 1937 in Dannemora; Bud died of cancer 22 August 1966 Plattsburgh,
Clinton, NY.; She married (2) Delbert BANKS ??; Delbert had children from
a previous marriage, but Ruth had no children. My Aunt Ruth still lives
in Fountain Valley, California (2000) with Everett Fitzpatrick. She and
Bud used to travel a lot in an Airstream trailer. They traveled all over
the west, Alaska and Mexico. Bud used to show home movies of their travels
through the redwoods, grand canyon, Rose Bowl Parade, and other great sights
that I would have to wait until I was over 50 to see myself. She is still
very active for 85 years young, plays Bingo and visits at the senior center
and bowling lanes with Everett. She remembers her mother Pearl, Aunt Shum
and Uncle Ben Hobbs very fondly, as do I. I visited her in California in
late Oct 2000, and her memory is failing, but we remembered when we stayed
at Uncle Ben's camp on Chazy Lake and what fun we had.
This is a picture of Ruth with her Dad when she was 3 years old.
This was written on the back by her mother in 1965. (see

Family records
This was a postcard of the prison in Dannemora where her father worked.
He sent this to his only daughter Ruth in August 1926 or 1928.
She was staying at her uncle's (Everett Hoff) farm in Ellenburgh Center
and singing on the stage at local functions. Aunt Shum made all of
us sing.
This is Ruth and Bud shortly after they married in 1937.
They were standing on the front lawn of the Bigelow Homestead
on Smith Street in Dannemora.
