AGED PIONEER PASSES ON
 
T. B. Biggerstaff, born June 2, 1851, in Carrol County, Ark., and died August 
31, 1929, Payette, Idaho.  He was married to Miss Harriett E. Whiteley, 
January 19, 1873, and soon after went to Texas, where he invested in a cotton 
farm, and lived there until 1885.  He crossed the plains with his family by 
team to Oregon, looking for a cattle ranch, not finding what he was looking 
for, he crossed over the Snake into Idaho and settled in the Council valley, 
where he spent 33 years in the cattle business.  In 1920 he sold his stock 
ranch and moved to the Payette valley, where he continued to live until the 
time of his death.
 
There were seven children born to this union, one boy and six girls, and six 
are living, one daughter passed away some years ago.  A. C. Biggerstaff, 
Weaverville, Calif; Mrs. Ollie Jones, Vancouver, Wash.; Mrs. Annie Laughlin, 
Payette; Mrs. Cora Goldsmith, Caldwell; Mrs. Ora Applegate, Parma; Mrs. Lida 
Mathias, but like her father has gone on to the great beyond and Mrs. Edna 
Hart, Riddle, Ore., 17 grand children and nine great grandchildren.  He was a 
great Christian worker and believed in helping the poor and needy.
 
His wife and the five girls living were at his bedside when his departure 
came.  A. C. Biggerestaff of California was not able to reach him.
 
He was laid to rest in the Council valley, beside his daughter.
