I stumbled upon The Bigelow website as I was trying to track down information on this person.  She would be my maternal grandmother's sister.
All this is derived from  my hard copy of the Bigelow Family of America dated 1890.  Catherine would be the ninth generation and person 4973.  The Annie (4974), is corrected to Amie in my grandmother's hand and further to the, Amy, that she went by.
Why my interest?  I have a Kappa Alpha Theta sorority pin in her name dated November 6, 1809 and I suppose too much time.  She would age 31.  I've tried the national office of the sorority with no success as I look for other information. I don't quite know how to work the web site but if you have anything, I would be interested.
Thanks,  MikeD

Harry A. Bigelow (1874-1950) was born in Norwood, Massachussetts. He graduated from Harvard University in 1896 and went on to earn a law degree from his alma mater in 1899. He spent one year teaching criminal law at Harvard before relocating to Honolulu where he practiced law for three years. Bigelow married in 1902. His wife, Mary Parker, died in 1920. In 1904 he was appointed to the faculty of the University of Chicago Law School, which had been founded just two years prior. Bigelow spent the remainder of his career at the University of Chicago, serving as Dean of the Law School from 1929 through to his retirement in 1935. As Professor Emeritus, however, Bigelow continued to teach in the Law School long after his formal retirement. An expert in property law, Bigelow served as an advisor to the American Law Institutue. He was also a member of the Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Order of the Coif. An avid big game hunter, Bigelow traveled to Africa for several expeditions. He died from heart failure in 1950 and was survived by his sister.
