Rod,

1860 census   
http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7667&iid=WIM653_1403-0653&fn=Claude&ln=Bigelow&st=r&ssrc=&pid=35695200

The above census shows Edmund, Lois and son Claude living together in Medina, Dane County, Wisconsin.  This census notes Edmund's age as 25 
which places his birth year abt 1837.  Both son Claude and wife Lois' ages are consistant with info on Bigelow Society +- 2years.

1870 census   
http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7163&iid=WIM593_1709-0084&fn=Claud&ln=Bigelow&st=r&ssrc=&pid=11329211

The above census notes Lois, son Claude and daughter Blanch living together again in Medina, Dane County, Wisconsin.  Ages for all three are consistant with 1860 census and Bigelow Society records.  However, Edmund 
is not listed with the family nor on the previous page and I have been  unable to locate him.

1880 census   
http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=6742&iid=IAT9_339-0393&fn=Lois&ln=Bigelow&st=r&ssrc=&pid=23263069

The above census notes that Lois is living with sister Mary b. 1830 and brother-in-law "Z Eemerey".  Lois' age in this census is consistant with 
previous census, Father's birthplace of Ireland is consistant with  following census records.  No children are living with her and Edmund is 
again absent from the household in this census.

1900 census   
http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7602&iid=ILT623_279-0527&fn=Lois+R&ln=Bigelow&st=r&ssrc=&pid=11227916

1910 census   
http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7884&iid=NJT624_900-0354&fn=Claude&ln=Bigelow&st=r&ssrc=gr_t3524902_p-1226225262_g0&pid=16592026

Edmund, Lois and son Claude and his family are all living in same household.  Age for Edmund is consistant with Bigelow Society records at 
this point.  Ages of Lois and Claude are consistant as well. A Sophia Schaefer is also listed in the 1900 census as a boarder.   Wife Anna died 
1900-1910 as the 1910 census records notes Claude as being widowed.  The 1910 census also notes Anna S Bigelow as daughter to head of household 
Edmund.  This must be an error as the children below are listed as grandchildren. The children of Claude and Anna Schaffer are:

Helena     b. 1887 in Kansas
Roland     b. 1889 in Illinois
Dorothy    b. 1895 in Illinois
Katherine  b. 1898 in Illinois
Hobart     b. 1901 in Illinois
