Harvey 7 BIGELOW
This is a photo of Harvey and his brothers. Don't know which one
is Harvey.
This photo shows surviving adult sons of Epaphroditus Bigelow,
undated and unidentified. Thanks to descendants Marion Bigelow and Mrs.
Dorothy Baer, authors of the article below; I believe the son in the back
left is Edward, the youngest. This is confirmed through another photo I've
seen recently. The son seated in the middle is probably Orimel and I would
take another guess that the picture was taken 1874 or 1878 for a funeral.
