While preparing to leave on a three months' vacation, Alfred P. Bigelow, general western freight agent of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, died suddenly yesterday afternoon at his residence, 312 Belden Avenue. He had been ill for a few days and had been advised to rest. Acute Bright's disease was the cause.
Mrs. Bigelow and the daughter, Lydia, were with him when he died. At 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Bigelow complained of faintness and became unconscious, dying an hour later. The funeral will be at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from the residence.
Mr. Bigelow was born in Zanesville, O., Oct 10, 1859. While he was a boy his parents removed to Chicago, where he graduated from public schools. In 1877 he entered the service of the Baltimore and Ohio, and from 1882 to 1890 was the general western freight agent, the highest executive official of the road west of New York City.
