Bigelow, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Millard F. Bigelow, arrived in Payette Sunday morning from Oxbow, Oregon, where the young man had been for several months working in the mining camp, and was taken sick while there and passed away after but a few days illness. Dewitt was a young man full of ambition and after registering, for service in the army and was exempted to be called at any time, went to work at the mining camp near Oxbow, where it would be convenient to return when called. He was taken with influenza about a week ago and passed away January 25th at the age of 19 years, 3 months and 2 days. He was a graduate from the high school at Woodburn, Oregon, in 1917, and shortly after came with his parents to Payette, wher he made many firends among the younger people who will regret his early departure in life. Besides a father and mother he leaves to mourn his death two brothers, Dwight E. and Russell M., and two sisters Blanch and Belva, all of whom are living at home. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. K. Wallis at Riverside cemetery Monday afternoon at 4 P.M., where the body was laid to rest.
