Edward ⁷ BIGELOW

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

John³, Joshua², John¹) and Sarah (PHELPS) BIGELOW, was born at Geneseo, Livingston co, NY on 14 May 1837 and married Lucy Hart Brown, the daughter of George and Mary (Perkins) Brown, on 29 August 1865.
