'Det' Bigelow Victim of Apoplexy
Affected with organic heart trouble for several years, Chandler Burdette Bigelow died suddenly this morning at 7 o'clock at his home at the Woodard ranch, at Yolo, he was 64 years old, a native of Shepherd, Michigan.
Apoplexy was the immediate cause of death. Of late he had not been confined to his bed and was a visitor in Woodland only last Friday to attend the funeral of Troy Barr.
He is survived by a wife, Cornelia Bigelow, a daughter, Dorothy Bigelow, and a brother, H. 0. Bigelow, of Tacoma.
"Det" Bigelow was for a long time a prominent figure in turf circles. He drove trotters and pacers for his father-in-law, George Woodard, and also for several other prominent men in the then "sport of kings." Bigelow also had a stable of his own horses and raced them with considerable success.
Bigelow had claimed Yolo as his home for thirty years. He came to California in 1895.
Bigelow belonged to Woodland Encampment of Odd Fellows and the subordinate lodge at Shepherd, Michigan. Many there are in Yolo county who will be profoundly shocked to learn of his death. Honesty was a trait that endeared him to his friends, who had learned from experience that he was a man of his word, a friend who could always be depended upon. The funeral arrangements were being completed this afttrnoon through the Krellenberg Company.
