Dr. Daniel K. Bigelow
Dr. Daniel K Bigelow, son of Dr. Israel, was born in Balston Spa, N. Y., March 22, 1801 Studied medicine with his father, and commenced practice with his brother, Dr. Lebbens Bigelow. at Morris Cross-Roads, Fayette Co., Penn. In 1823, he moved to Adamsburg, Westmoreland Co., Penn., where he remained until 1831, when he came to Ohio and settled on the farm near Pleasant Valley where he afterward died. I know him well during the years of 1847, 1848 and 1849, and I can not recall the time that I ever saw him idle. His charges were ridiculously low, but he accumulated a fair estate, continuing in active practice up to the time of his death. He married, February 7, 1822, Miss Lydia Custer, of Georges Township, Fayette Co., Penn. She was the daughter of George and Catherine (Leatherman) Custer, and was born April 24, 1826, and died at her home, near Pleasant Valley, Ohio, November 14, 1854, of strangulated hernia. He died at his home, near Pleasant Valley, on the 10th day of November. 1850, of diabetes, aged fifty years.
