Rod,
1900 census  Independence, Oakland, Michigan
1910 census  Clayton, Genesee, Michigan
The 1900 census record notes both Joe (Zoe) and Fred Bigelow that corresponds to your information.
However, the 1910 census notes that Walter remarried in 1907 a Minerva  __________ .  This record notes Minerva as wife but the age looks to be 70 
and the 7 is clearly different than the 4s within the same page.  The records notes that current marriage is Walter's 2nd and Minerva's 1st and 
that she has no children.  The 1910 records shows no other children other than Fred H who was aged 15 years so it is most likely the same Walter and 
Fred who are on the 1900 record.
Can't explain whether Minerva is second wife or other relative who was mistakenly noted as wife....so either age is wrong or relationship is wrong.
No explanation as to what happend to Maud as I have not been able to locate the family in records after 1910.
