OBITUARY.

harriet brom

    HARRIET M, wife of Anson Bigelow, died at their residence in Ausable 
Forks, N.Y., Jan 21, 1877, aged years and 5 days.
    The deceased was highly esteemed in this entire community. She was one of 
the oldest residents of the town. For many years she lived in peace and love 
with the Church, with God and mankind. She was a member of the Methodist 
Episcopal Church. although not an active member, yet she was consistent in her life 
and loyal to her church and interests. In her home especially, her piety was 
manifested, and her children cannot easily forget the impressions of good that 
she made on their minds by her consistent life and godly admonitions.
    She was called to pass through the fire of intense suffering, for nearly 
four months in extreme agony of body, occasioned by disease of the heart, yet 
in the midst of bodily anguish her mind was calm and composed. Often she 
longed to be absent from the body and present with her Lord. As she was about 
stepping out of time’s scenes into the future, when language had failed, and the 
devoted daughters and sons were weeping, she shook her head “No.”  as much as 
to say, “Weep not for me. I’m going home.”
    Truly her tombstone may be engraved: “She died in the hope of a blessed 
resurrection.”
    She leaves a husband, six daughters, two sons and a large circle of 
friends to mourn their loss, but they “sorrow not as those who have no hope.”

Hi, just for a kick I typed in Anson Bigelow on the computer--what a surprise to find the listing.
My husband and I have lived in an old brick house outside of Ausable Forks for 23 years. We once
tried to trace back deeds at the county clerks, but found we got lost in the scribe of the day. 
Recently, a previous (short term) owner mailed me all the deeds up till she bought the place.  The
first mortgage deed was dated 1883 from Anson to Irad Bigelow, stating Anson had been a farmer and
lived on the farm "in his lifetime". Not sure if he built the house, or his father built the house
and what year.  I was wondering if you had any information--the place originally had 167 acres. 
(Old pictures of this house are greatly sought after if you know anyone who has some and may be
able to scan)

2002 Mail from Greg Furness of Mineville, NY:
"Edwin R. Follett, was co-editor with Wendall Lansing of the "Northern Standard" newspaper, published in Keeseville, NY from 1854 through 1860. "
Greg's research over several years has dealt with anti-slavery and "Free-Soil" activity in the North Country. The "Northern Standard" was a major free-soil publication, of which very few copies have survived.
