General Notes: Husband - John F. Bigler, A.B., A.M.

---

Edinboro, Erie Co, PA

He was reared in Vrnango County, Pennsylvania, and received his elementary educational training in its district schools. He later graduated from the Barkeyville Academy, and then taught school for a few terms, but wishing to more thoroughly identify himself with the principles of the profession which he had chosen as a life work he became a student in the ancient classical course at Grove City College and in four years was graduated from that college with the degree of A. B. He later studied for four terms at Harvard and one term in the Pennsylvania University, doing special work in psychology and sociology.
After returning home from the Grove City College, Mr. Bigler became a teacher in the Barkeyville Academy, and later was its principal for two years. At the close of that period he was made the superintendent of public instruction for Venango County, but after serving six months of his third term in that office he resigned to become the principal of the Edinboro State Normal.
