Married Shirley Chap (from Chicago) and raised their family near Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Around Elma he was known as Gene Bigley. When he moved away from Elma as a young man for his work, he was known by his official first name of Tom.
Married Frank Bigley
Grandma Bigley, as she was known to many of us. She grew up on the farm, but moved to St. Paul, Minnesota in 19XX to work with her friend and Elma, Iowa native Mabel McAvoy. Mabel was the mother of Bette McAvoy, who married Loretta’s oldest son, Bud. I don’t know if there is a name for this relationship. They were both mothers-in-law to each other’s children.
