H. H. BIGELOW is a New Yorker by birth, and a native of Essex county, where he
was born in 1820. In 1835 he began as a sailor between New York and Montreal,
which occupation he followed until 1856, serving as a captain from 1843. At that
time he went to Minnesota, and farmed there four years; and in December, 1860,
started for California, arriving in San Francisco in March, 1861. From there he
came directly to Sierra county, and located at Sierra City. In 1869 he returned
to Minnesota with the intention of remaining, but found that the Pacific coast
was more congenial to his health, and he came back the same year. In 1870 he
built the Bigelow house, which he kept until 1881. He was married in 1845 to
Miss S. J. Webster of Essex county, New York.
