I saw your name on the Bigelow Bulletin Board and thought you might
be able to help me with some research. I'm looking for information
about a George H. Bigelow, who was the Massachusetts commissioner of public
health in the early 1930s and died unexpectedly in 1935 at age 44. He
was a friend of my grandfather, whose life I've been researching, and I'd
like to find out some more about him. George H. had a son, Bradley,
and a daughter, Margaret. Do you happen to know of this clan, or anyone who
might?
Thanks very much,
Phil Roosevelt

I have before me a 1922-1923 list of Antioch College Faculty that includes
my grandfather, Ralph E. Boothby (Harvard 1912), George Hoyt Bigelow,
and Dr. P.H. Bigelow. I grew up in Weston, VT where my grandparents
purchased a home on Trout Club Rd. in 1926 and remember as a very small child
my father pointing out the Bigelow house. Are these Antioch teachers related
to the Weston, VT Bigelows? When did the Weston Bigelows first settle in
that town? I am thinking my grandfather may have been refered to the Antioch
position and chosen Weston for his home because of acquaintance with G.
H.
Bigelow at Harvard?
Thank you for your time,
Lawrence E. Boothby, Reed College 1967
