Hi Rod!
My grandmother was Eva Bigelow, b. 1888, Whiting, IA. She married
Hermon Hurley. She was the youngest daughter of William Henry Bigelow
and Alice Betts. Picture taken June 9, 1958, just a little over a
year before she died. Clyde provided picture above.

Hello!
My name is Clyde Rice and I am a Bigelow descendant, through William
Henry Bigelow's daughter, Eva, b. Sept. 6, 1888, m. Herman Hurley,
(not Harley!).
And I do believe you have her death date wrong, it was summer time,
not Jan. I was in summer camp, IA. Air Nat. Guard, in Golfport,
Miss. when
she died. It upset me that the family didn't notify me, I would
have been back for the funeral! Either 1958 or 59, I will have to
look it up. She
was my mother, Fern Mildred Hurley's mother.
If you are looking into Alice Betts, please contact me! I
just ordered a mtDNA test through Family Tree DNA. This is the DNA
line,
traceable through the female line, daughter, to mother, to grandmother,
to g grandmother and on and on! I need Alice Betts', mother's maiden
name,
her mother's maiden name and so on! As far as possible, this
gives some deep ancestry knowledge on this female line!
I believe Alice Betts' mother's maiden name might have been Elwer.
(In the past year, I did this same thing for the male, Rice surname
side of my ancestry. We had been brick walled at the birth of my
gg
grandfather, Ira James Rice, 1808, Greene Co. NY. for 40 years.
This accomplished a great breakthrough, and I have now pushed it back
200 more
years, and at least 6 generations! It seems that the name wasn't
always Rice, but Royce in CT. in the 1630's, and became Rice when my ggg
grandfather moved to NY! The same thing happened to a lot of
Royce lines, I find out after the fact! The male is called the Y-DNA
test as opposed
to the female mtDNA.) So, it does work! Up and coming
technology!
