General Notes: Husband - W. Glenn Bigham

---

He was educated in the schools of what was then known as Upper St. Clair township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and later attended the Mansfield Seminary of Mansfield. He began his business life by working in his father's general store in Mansfield. In 1859 he accompanied his father to Franklin City, Pennsylvania, during the elder man's stay in the Pennsylvania oil fields, and there assisted him in the oil business in which he engaged. In 1865, however, both returned to Mansfield, and there W. G. Glenn established himself in a mercantile business and opened a general store on Main street. In the year 1869 he sold out and accepted a position as agent for the Adams Express Company, holding this position until 1903, in which year he retired from active business. His residence was still an old house built in 1852, the second house and the first postoffice of Mansfield or Carnegie City, which his father bought when he first came to the town. Mr. Bigham was a man of much prominence in the community. He was a Republican in politics, and served his fellow citizens for fifteen years or more on the Carnegie city council, and for many years of that time acted as president of that body. Mr. Bigham was a member of the United Presbyterian Church and served as a trustee therein.
