Hi everyone. My great great grandfather was the Rev. Warren Bigelow born 1822 in Chester Twp., Windsor Co., VT. He died in Mazeppa, Wabasha Co., MN on Oct. 31, 1866 (of consumption) while a minister of the Congregational Church in Mazeppa. He was a graduate of Middlebury College in VT. Married Lucy Jamima (Woodward) in Beloit, Rock Co., WI in 1856, while a minister at the Congregational church in Black River Falls, Jackson Co., WI. He and his wife and one son, Henry (died young) are listed on the 1860 Black River Falls, WI census. He moved to Mazeppa sometime in the early 1860's and was minister of the Cogregational Church there from 1864 until his death in 1866. Warrens wife Lucy continued to live in Mazeppa until the 1890's when she moved to FL to live with her remaining son George Woodward Bigelow, during her old age. She died there in 1904 and we have 2 obituarys for her, one in FL and one from Mazeppa.
The Congregational Church is said to have been on the south east corner of Walnut and Broadway Street in Mazeppa. We do not know if a cemetary is linked to this church, but assume if there is then Warren would be buried there. There is also a Mazeppa public cemetary listed on the Wabasha Co., MN genweb site and he may possibly be buried there. We just don't know. In a letter Lucy wrote her son, before moving to FL, she states that she continues to visit the cemetary every week, but that the steps leading to the cemetary are starting to give her trouble in her old age. Would anyone be able to pin point which cemetary this could be?? Is there a cemetary book for Mazeppa, WI that might list the people in the cemetary's??
Warren is buried beside his young dau. Elizabeth (Lizzie) Bigelow who also died in Mazeppa in 1882. She was born October 12, 1866, two weeks before her fathers death.
Any help really, really appreciated. I have previously asked for a RAOGK look up, but never received a response by the one lady who does look ups in Wabasha Co. This about 6 weeks ago.
Any help or clues appreciated.
