I was researching information on Oliv epell as we have many paitings
and letters and books written by olive pell. It seems my great
grandmother Phoebe Harris was retained by the bigelow family as a
governess and raised the bigelows children including Matlida, who went
by Olive. My great grandmother was held in high regard by Olive and she
cared for her until my great grandmothers death. We have a letter that
should only be opened upon her death which she died in 1980 not 1971.

I was searching for information on
Esau/Bigelow Arkansas online tonight and ran across the ArkPerry
Rootweb site with a lot of messages concerning various people in Perry
County including Mr. N.P. Bigelow for whom the town was renamed.
I saw that you had posted to this group and was very interested to read
that Mr. Bigelow was an ancestor of yours. I have lived in
Bigelow for most of my life and have taught in the school system there
for many years. Several of the teachers are now interested in
obtaining information on the history of Bigelow including information
on the Fourche River Lumber Company which Mr. Bigelow headed.
We have found one picture purported to
be of Mr. Bigelow as well as a bit of other information on him but not
a whole lot!
I do have a couple of pictures of the beautiful two-story home that he
lived in while the mill was still there. As a child, I remember
wandering through that house during the fourth of july picnics that
were always held there. One of my memories is of the enormous
fireplace in the front room! At least it seemed enormous to me as
a child. I also remember those very narrow back stairs from the
kitchen area that we kids would sneak up. Unfortunately I cannot
find any really great shots of the exterior of the house nor any at all
of the interior...sigh. Sadly, it burned to the ground several
years ago during the process of being renovated by a couple who had
recently purchased it.
I and the other teachers would love to
correspond with you about Mr. N.P. Bigelow if that is agreeable with
you? We would love to get a really good photo (which we would of
course pay for!) of Mr. Bigelow for our school records. We would
even be happy with a scanned photo sent via email. We would also
like to know if you have any information about his time here in the
town that was named after him.
