T. B. BIGGERSTAFF PASSES
T. B. Biggerstaff, an aged and respected citizen of Payette, and a pioneer of western Idaho, passed away at 9 o'clock Saturday night at his home on Seventh Avenue North. The immediate cause of his death was a third paralytic stroke suffered while he and Mrs. Biggerstaff were enjoying an outing with Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Freehafer at Starkey Hot Springs a couple of weeks ago.
Talbert B. Biggerstaff was born June 2, 1851, in Carroll County, Arkansas. He was united in marriage to Harriet E. Whiteley in 1873 and came west in 1886, locating first in Oregon, coming to the Upper Council Valley about 42 years
ago. There he underwent the hardships of the early pioneer, but made for himself a splendid home, a fine stock ranch, and a competence, and won the highest esteem of all his neighbors and the people of Washington and Adams county in general. He retired from active work nine years ago and came to Payette from the ranch to rest from his labors, purchasing the home in which he passed away.
Seven children, one son and six daughters, were born to Mr. and Mrs. Biggerstaff. They are A. C. Biggerstaff of Weaversville, California; Mrs. J. J. Jones, of Vancouver, Washington; Mrs. Irvin Goldsmith, of Caldwell, Idaho;
Mrs. Eva Applegate, of Wilder, Idaho; Mrs. E. E. Hart, of Riddle, Idaho, and Mrs. Lida Mathias, who passed away at Council in 1904. The wife and all the living daughters were with him at the end. The son was unable to be present. His is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Emily Harp, living in Upper Council Valley. A coincidence is that there are seven children, 17 grand children and
seven great grandchildren.
Funeral services were held at the Landon Undertaking parlors in this city Monday morning at 9:30 o'clock, and were conducted by Rev. Beldaw, of Caldwell, and Rev. Iverson, of Ontario. He was laid to rest in the Pioneer
Cemetery in Upper Council Valley beside the body of his daughter, after appropriate services at the grave.
