General Notes: Husband - Robert Bigham

---

He was born in Moon township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and passed his childhood and early youth on his father's farm there. He learned, while young, the miller's trade, and upon reaching manhood, married and removed to Mount Lebanon, Allegheny County. In this locality he conducted a farm for a number of years with a high degree of success, and later went to Scott township, where he built a flour mill on Georges Run on the Pittsburgh and Washington turnpike. For eighteen years he operated this mill, but in 1854 sold it and removed to Mansfield (later Carnegie), Pennsylvania. Here he bought the house, now No. 343 Main avenue, the second house built in the town. In the new location he opened a general store and grocery, which he conducted until the year 1859. He then once more sold out his business and going to Franklin City, Pennsylvania, became an oil operator. In this business both his gains and losses were very large until the year 1865, when he withdrew and, returning to Mansfield, resided with his son, until the time of his death. Mr. Bigham, Sr., was an active and prominent member of his community, a member of the Republican party, and a member of and an officer in the United Presbyterian Church.
