Anson A. Bigelow Biography, Genesee County, Michigan This Biography extracted from "Portrait and Biographical Record of Genesee, Lapeer and Tuscola Counties, Michigan…", published be Chapman Bros., Chicago (1892), p. 965-966 This copy contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives. ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/mi/mifiles.htm ************************************************ ANSON A. BIGELOW. The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Bigelow, which is situated on section 11, Mundy Township, Genesee County, may justly be called one of the ornaments of the county. It is the result of the intelligent and tasteful planning and supervision of this excellent and cultured couple, and in conveniences and beauty ranks high. The other buildings upon this fine farm are also worthy of note and second to none in the county. Hiram and Lavantia (Gordon) Bigelow, the parents of our subject, came from New York to Grand Blanc Township, Genesee County, upon their first coming to Michigan at a very early day, and there they lived for several years, after which they removed to Mundy Township, which became their final home. They had a family of seven children, and our subject is next to the youngest in order of age. He was born in Grand Blanc Township, January 18, 1842, and was a child of seven years when his parents came to this township, where he grew to manhood. Mr. Bigelow worked at the carpenters' trade for several years and on the 6th of December, 1861 he enlisted in Company E, Michigan Light Artillery and served until July 30, 1865, when he was mustered out of the service at Jackson, Mich. He took part in the battles of Mill Springs, Shiloh, Nashville and many smaller engagements and skirmishes, four months of his service being on the gun boat "Newsboy," and returning to Mundy Township, has since engaged in farming. Forty acres of land constituted the first purchase which Mr. Bigelow made and he now owns two hundred and twenty-seven acres, upon which he has erected a fine and complete set of farm buildings as commodious and well adapted to agricultural business as any in this county. Our subject was married in Grand Blanc Township, March 5, 1864, to Miss Mary Hallock, daughter of the late Harmon Hallock and of Mrs. Hannah (Straw) Hallock, who were very early settlers in that township. Hannah Straw was but eleven years old when she came to this county and walked all the way from Detroit to the new home. She died near New Lothrop, Shiawassee County, and her husband passed from earth in Grand Blanc Township. They have four children, of whom Mrs. Bigelow is the eldest. She was born in Grand Blanc Township, July 8, 1842. To our subject and his estimable wife have been born six sons, Garrett H., who married Alma Hall; Lewis H., who took to wife Parna Gilbert; John O., who married Maud Ely; Herbert G., Orville T. and Charlie E., who died in infancy. In polities Mr. Bigelow is a member of the Republican party and he takes an intelligent interest in all public movements. He is deeply interested in the old soldiers' reunions, being a member of Gov. Crapo Post, No. 145, G. A. R. In business and social circles this family stands in the forefront of the citizens of Mundy Township, and their influence is ever exerted for the good of the community and the prosperity of the township.
