From the Hawarden Independent, September 14, 1933:

DEATH CLAIMS 9-YEAR-OLD BOY
Deryl Bigelow Passed Away at Home Here Sunday Evening

Deryl, only child of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Bigelow, passed away at his home in this city at 9:15 Sunday evening from double pneumonia. The boy was first taken ill about three weeks ago with intestinal flu and later pneumonia developed which caused his death.

Funeral services were held at 9 o’clock Wednesday morning at the Baynard Funeral Home with Rev. Clyde Clark, pastor of the Baptist church, in charge. The remains were then taken overland to Whitiing, Iowa, and services were held at the Congregational church there. Interment was made in Harrison cemetery.

Deryl Frank Bigelow was born in Sioux City July 25, 1924, and he passed away in Hawarden, Sept. 10, 1933, being just past nine years of age. He came to Hawarden with his parents about six years ago. He was a brilliant and very likeable child and endeared himself to everyone with whom he came in contact. The grief stricken parents have the sympathy of all in their sorrow.
