Ione E. Bigelow is buried in the Harrison Cemetery, Harrison, Sioux County, Nebraska.

Her name (Ione E. BIGELOW) plus birth and death dates are engraved on the back of the tombstone for Everett Corwin LEWIS, born November 8, 1916 - died May 27, 1942.

The SSDI shows the following for Ione:

IONE E HRUZA21 Jul 191710 Apr 2002 (V)69131 (Dalton, Cheyenne, NE)(none specified)506-32-9283Nebraska.

Does anyone know this Ione Bigelow?Or why she is buried with Everett Corwin Lewis?

I found Ione living with her family in the 1930 census:

1930 Highland, Sioux County, Nebraska
ED 7, 1A

Demer BIGELOW, owns/12,200, 40, married at 24, NE NE IL, farmer
Dorcas Bigelow, 38, married at 22, WY WI WI

among the children:

Ione Bigelow, 12, NE NE WY

In the 1930 census, Everett Corwin LEWIS was living with his family:

1930 Warbonnet, Sioux County, Nebraska
ED 18, 1A

Albert LEWIS, rents, 33, 1st married at 19, NE IA IL, farmer
Elsie Lewis, 32, 1st married at 18, NE CAN GER
Everett Lewis, 13, NE
Betty Lewis, 4, NE
Helen Lewis, 1, NE

Everett LEWIS is the only one of his family buried in the Harrison Cemetery, but there are numerous families with the surname BIGELOW, including Ione's parents.

I am following the ancestry of Everett Corwin LEWIS.
