Orimel ⁷ BIGELOW

This is a photo of Orimel and his brothers. Don't know which one is Orimel. 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.

16315.B1 Orimel ⁷ BIGELOW, son of Epaphroditus ⁶(Daniel ⁵ ,David⁴, Lt. John³, Joshua², John¹) and Sarah (PHELPS) BIGELOW, was born at Marlborough, CT on 03 June 1818. When only a few months old, his parents moved to Geneseo, NY in a wagon pulled by oxen. On 25 March 1847, he married Martha Jane Williams who was born at Livonia, NY on 15 June 1824. The 1850 census shows this family in Cass county, MI. He was a farmer, county Supervisor and Assessor and this family later lived in Groveland, NY. Orimel died there on 13 September 1894. His widow died at Dry Run, PA the home of her son-in-law, in 1898. Both are buried at Lakeview Cemetery, Groveland; NY.
