Ionia Sentinel Standard, 19 Feb 1931

Mrs. Anna Bigger, of Lincoln avenue, a devoted wife and mother, died at her home
Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock, after several weeks of serious illness.  

Before her marriage she was Miss Anna Gillis, of Cheboygan.  She was born there
May 2, 1879.  Surviving are the husband, June Bigger, and six children, Fred,
Albert, Vernon, Kenneth, Grace and Burr; two brothers William Gillis, of Flint,
Charles Gillis, of Greenland; and two sisters, Mrs. Frank Wright, of Royal Oak,
and Mrs. Ida Walsh, of Ionia.

A daughter, Rubena, died June 13, 1929, after a heroic fight with tuberculosis
and during whose illness the mother gave every administration that her daughter
might live.  She even went west with the daughter on the second trip that she
might overcome the homesickness that is attendant upon a life among strangers in
the effort to regain health.

Mrs. Bigger’s church affiliation was with the Baptist denomination.

The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. F.J. Fitch and Rev. R.E. Karban
at the home 602 West Lincoln avenue, Sunday afternoon at 1:30 and at the Baptist
church at 2 o’clock.  Interment will be in the Tuttle cemetery.
