After the Indian scare the Bigelow family moved to Provo for a while. The father had a sawmill in Provo Canyon and Don worked there several years. During the winter he attended Brigham Young Academy in Provo. Annie Maria obtained what education she could.
He was called on a mission to the Central States in 1902 but was called home after nine months because of his wife’s heart trouble. In 1911 he was called to serve in Southern States and was sent to the same place he served in 1902. While her husband was gone she worked and supported him and the children. And although her health was not good she continued on in the work of the Lord.
When Don returned from his mission he took up farming, continuing until he retired in 1939. After that they spent their lives working in the Salt Lake and Saint George Temples.
He loved to read and his recreation was fishing and dancing, which he enjoyed very much. She was gifted in writing poetry and had a poem for every occasion. Her last and greatest work was to write her life’s history in poetry form. She finished this and gave each of her children a copy for a Christmas gift just before she died.
Her life was spent in giving service to others. She was a good wife, mother and friend, loved and respected by all.
Their children were: Annie Adora, Ida, Eva, Don Erwin, Elva, Florallia, William Wells, John Alton, Emily May, Winona and Okie.
