    3. I found this and thought that it might be of interest or some use to someone on the list. It was found on a site link that was posted here recently; http://205.247.101.31:2005/cdm4/search.php No relationship to me, but an Irish family for certain. James Biglan, Sr., of Doylestown, PA received a dispatch yesterday afternoon announcing the death of his brother, Michael Biglan, at his home in Bristol. The cause of death was not stated. His age was about 65 years. He is survived by his wife, five children - two sons and three daughters - his brother James, of Doylestown, and his sister Ellen, residing in Iowa. Mr Biglan came to America from Ireland in 1850 and immediately settled in Doylestown. He was employed for many years by the railroad company, working in the freight yard. Later he followed mason-tending for a living and helped to build a great many houses in Doylestown. He removed with his family to Ohio after living here some time but soon tired of the West and returned to the town of his adoption. About nine years ago he removed with his family to Bristol and obtained employment in Steel's Mill, and was an employee of that establishment at the time of his death. On February 22, 1865, he enlisted in the Army for one year, or until the end of the war. He joined Company I under Captain Enos R. Artman, 213th Regiment, Penna. Volunteers, recruited at Frankford by Col. John A. Gorgas. He served in the Army for ten months and was honorably discharged with his regiment at Washington. The only Doylestown survivor of his company is David O. Connard. His funeral will be held Monday Morning. Interment in the Catholic Cemetery at Bristol.
