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
