This history adds to information found in "The Bigelow Family Genealogy, Vol. II.  from Janis Pahnke, 5220 N. Melvinaav., Chicago, IL 60630-1037, who provided us with a copy of this interesting excerpt, has sorted out the somewhat confusing relationship between the closely-connected Bigelow and Brooks families mentioned in the article.
From Forge above:

He is a hardware merchant of Boston, the head of the large corporation known as the Bigelow & Dowse Company.  He has one son, Samuel Lawrence 9, born Feb. 23, 1870, a graduate of Harvard College and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He will graduate, the coming summer, from the university at Leipsig, Germany, and in the fall is expected to take a position on the academic staff of the Michigan University at Ann Arbor.

     My name is Michelle Goddard. I came across this and it looks as if it was at Harrahs, Nevada museum. Could this have been possibly a business that you know about? Thanks any help is greatly appreciated.
