Death of William D. Bigler

Hon. William D. Bigler died at his home in Clearfield Tuesday, Apr. 9, at 10 
p.m.  He had for some time been suffering with Bright's disease, but his 
death came quite unexpectedly and was therefore a great shock to family and 
friends.

Mr. Bigler was born in Clearfield, Sept. 17, 1841, and was the third son of 
former Governor William D. Bigler.  He was married in 1870 to Miss Alice 
Barrett, daughter of former Judge George R. Barrett.  He is survived by his 
wife, three sons and one daughter.

In point of practice he was one of the oldest and most prominent members of 
the Clearfield county bar, having been admitted in 1869.  In the earlier 
years of his life Mr. Bigler took an active part in Democratic politics and 
during Cleveland's second term was appointed U.S. Treasurer at Philadelphia.

He was identified with many of the business enterprises of town and county, 
and among other positions of trust held at the time of his death was 
president of the Clearfield Trust Company.

In the death of William D. Bigler Clearfield has lost one of its most 
upright, honored and universally beloved citizens, that highest type of 
manhood a noble Christian gentleman.
