GEORGE ASHLEY BIGELOW died August 26. He was born at Hartford, Ct., on February 12, 1848, of old Colonial stock, with a military ancestry. His parents were John and Jane Ashley (Hinman) Bigelow. His maternal grandfather was Boyal R. Hinman, Secretary of State of Connecticut, and a genealogist and local historian of note in that State. His four great grandfathers, Major John Bigelow, Captain James Hillyer, General Ephraim Hinman and General John Ashley, were all officers in the American Army during the Revolution. His ancestor, John Bigelow, married Mary Warner, October 30, 1642, in Watertown, Mass., this being the first marriage recorded there. His son, John, settled in Hartford, Ct, about 1666.
Mr. Bigelow began his business life in New York, moved to Philadelphia, and for forty years was engaged in the life and fire insurance business here, earning an enviable reputation for probity, fair dealing and promptitude among all his business associates and clients, and was withal a general favorite. His religious activities were almost as great as his business ones. He was an Elder in, a charter member of, and largely the founder of the Bethel Presbyterian Church in this city, and a member of the Archaeological Society. He was a charter member of the New England Society.
