re: 15923.778D Jessie L. (female), b_____March 1888. (youngest child of Lewis A.(8).)
Jessie Lorena Bigelow was my grandmother. Her date of birth
was
10 March 1888; date of death 25 December 1962, in Alexandria,
VA. She and her youngest son, Samuel Benjamin Miller, were
accidentally asphyxiated by gas from a faulty heating stove in his
mobile home. He was on
leave from duties at the Pentagon where he was stationed in the US
Navy,
Boatswain Mate 2nd Class.
She was married to widower Dr. Henry Ernest Miller of Belleville,
Mifflin Co. (his second wife), and they had nine or ten children
together. His parents were Daniel and Lydia Ellen (Ernest)
Miller of Mexico, Juniata Co., PA., where he was born on 16 July
1879. His death was on 19 August 1961, at Belleville,
Mifflin Co.

My gg-mother was Mary R. Bigelow, daughter of Lewis A.
Bigelow;
-m. John C. Rhiver (date?);
-daughter, Beatrice L. Rhiver (my g-mother);
-m. John Edward Kauffman, Jr. b.15 MAR 1913 (my g-father);
Any information on this line, as the Bigelow trees I have
seen
all show Mary R. but not her descendants, and I can find nothing
on the
Rhivers or Kauffmans.
Thank-you

Looking for connections with Mary R. Bigelow b.Jan. 1872,
married John C. Rhiver in 1905 (b.1870) ( I also have her name as
Mary B. Wolfe)
she could have been married previously and using BIGELOW as her
middle name.
I don't have any proof of a prior marriage. Although she was abt
33 yrs.
old when she married John.
Mary's parents were Lewis A. Bigelow and Mary C. Hoover.
John and Mary had 4 children: Thelma Bigelow (my grandmother),
Lewis Pomeroy, Charles E.,and Beatrice. As
far as I can tell the family resided in Enola, PA.
I'm looking for info on the possible prior marriage to WOLFE and
any connections to the family. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
