Fred Bigsby Dies At New Plymouth Home
 
NEW PLYMOUTH (Special to Independent-Enterprise) -- Fred Bigsby died at his 
home Sunday of a heart ailment that threatened his life several times in the 
past three years.  He was born at Saginaw, Michigan, September 9, 1872 and 
moved with his parents to Nebraska in 1879.  He was married in 1900 and came 
west to Oregon with his family in 1912 then to Idaho in 1915 locating on a 
farm north of town.  Later he purchased a farm west of New Plymouth where he 
made his home for nearly twenty years farming his own land and helping 
neighbors with their work.  He gave a full day's work for an honest wage and 
the events of his active life were the source of many fascinating, well told 
stories that made his listeners regret the ending of the tale.  He is survived 
by his wife, three children, two step children, seven grandchildren and a step 
grand-daughter.  His children are Mrs. Gladys Porter, Kelso, Washington, 
Walter Bigsby, Forest Grove, Oregon, Bonny Bigsby, New Plymouth.  One brother 
and one sister survive.  Funeral services were held in the Congregational 
church Thursday with Rev. Knight of Nampa officiating, and Landon's 
directing.  Burial was in Parkview cemetery.
