The Belding Banner-News, Wednesday, March 2, 1921

Mrs. Martha Bigler died at the Bigler home on Birch street, Monday morning 
after an illness of several weeks, aged 80 years.  She was the second wife of 
Miles R. Bigler who is now eighty-seven years old, the aged couple having 
lived happily together for many years and her death is a sad blow to the 
husband in his declining years.

They lived for some time in the Howe addition but later moved to the home 
which he purchased last summer.  The deceased was an excellent woman.  She 
leaves besides her husband a son, Delbert Campbell and daughter, Mrs. Chas. A. 
Drake.

The funeral was held Wednesday at the late home with burial in River Ridge 
cemetery.  Mr. Bigler, who did everything possible for her during her 
sickness, is receiving the sympathy of many friends.  A purse of about $70 was 
given him in his hour of need, by John W. Cartridge who circulated a paper for 
his benefit, among the factory employees and business men.  When Mr. Cartridge 
presented the amount to him Mr. Bigler feelingly expressed his thanks for the 
kindness and thoughtfulness shown him at a time when it was sorely needed.

Old neighbors and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Bigler made up a purse and also 
purchased a beautiful bouquet of flowers which Mr. Cartridge carried to the 
home and presented it to Mr. Bigler for the funeral and burial service.
