      Find a Grave
           Son of Elverton Pod Bigelow (b.2/13/1842
      d.11/23/1893) and Mary Jane Betts (b.11-22-1845 d. 6-15-1931) from
      Eagle, Wisconsin. Sometime around 1875, Elverton and Mary Jane
      moved from Eagle, Wisconsin to Whiting, Monona Co. Iowa. They
      built a new house with green wood which shrank causing gaps and
      making the house too cold to live in. They moved into a dugout for
      that winter and that is where Budd Elverton Bigelow was born on
      November 18, 1875. 
           (Headstone is incorrect). Married Annie
      Matilda Hughes on 09 September 1903 in Whiting, Monona County,
      Iowa. They had six children, one of which died in infancy before
      they moved to Waldron, Arkansas in the spring of 1917 where their
      last child was born. Budd died from mouth/throat cancer on 21 May
      1933 at the age of 57 in Waldron Arkansas. According to my mother,
      Louise Bigelow Burr, he was the first person in Waldron to ever be
      embalmed, which they did in their home. 
           At his request, he was buried in his
      military school uniform and was also taken by horse drawn wagon
      from their home to the cemetery, which was a great embarassment to
      my mother who was 16 at the time. Obtained from Wisconsin

      2010 notes:
          Dear Rod,
            Here are the pictures that I wrote
              to you about for Budd E Bigelow 91733.  I hope you
              can use them, 2 of them are really small.
              The changes I would like to make are as follows:
              17331: George Elverton  died  2 Sept 1991
        
17335: Annie Irene’s husband should be Junious Alonzo Waid and the children’s last name needs to be changed to Waid as well.
17336: Louisa Katrina’s husbands name should be spelled Glen and they were married 8 April 1942.
17337: Esther Elizabeth died 20 Dec 2002
