The funeral of Fred. B. Bigley, who died at his home in Eureka Saturday, aged 
20 years, was held in the Eureka church Monday, there being a very large 
attendance, Rev. Wm. Judd, of Lyons, preaching the funeral sermon.  The 
following obituary was read:

Fred B. Bigley was born at this place July 12th, 1873, and died June 10th, 
1893.  He was for a time engaged in business in Belding, but sold out to take 
charge of the old home and comfort his parents in their declining years.  He 
was engaged to be married to Miss Cora E. Green at some future time, each being 
the other’s first and only choice.  He made a profession of religion five years 
ago under the pastorate of Rev. Wm. Judd and has lived the life he then 
professed.  He expressed a desire to stay with friends, but said he had no 
fears of death.  He disposed of his business in a business-like-way and then 
quietly waited the end.  Thus ended a quiet, honest life, leaving a vacant 
place that can never be filled.

[Transcriber's Note:  There is a notation on the obituary card that he is 
buried in Otisco Cemetery.]
