Olive Hill Cemetery - History 62 Biggs

Nothing is known about the person in this unmarked grave except that the name was BIGGS.

It's possibly Malinda Lowrance Moody Biggs (b. 1886, AR), the wife of Phillip Moore Biggs.

In 1910 they were neighbors of the grandfather of the Holloway children - John Bednar (south of the cemetery - Council Grove).
Phillip M. Biggs is a widower in 1920.
Phil Moore Biggs and his son Howard (and Howard's wife Alma) died in Fresno County, CA. The birth/death information for Phil and Howard (along with Malinda's maiden name) are found on the California Death Index.
Not sure what happened to Phil and Malinda's other child Edna (b. 1910, OK).
Can't find any record of what happened to Malinda's children by her first marriage - Walter and Roy Moody.

Most of the unmarked graves (marked with brass plates by the Cemetery Association in 1934) were graves established before 1920. The Biggs' brass plate has been damaged by the mowers.

No descendants (died young)
