    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" a group of BIGELOW Family photographs from Iowa. The first is one of Llewellyn C. BIGELOW which was taken at the J. M. Stonestreet Studio in Malcom, IA. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's or 1890's with Llewellyn likely in his 30's or 40's at the time. The second photograph is one of Alonzo J. BIGELOW which was taken at a studio in Grinnell, IA. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Alonzo likely in his 60's or 70's at the time. The third photograph is one of Mabel BIGELOW STONESTREET, taken at the J. M. Stonestreet Studio in Malcom, IA. This one was probably taken in the 1880's with Mable likely in her 30's at the time. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this family: Llewellyn C. BIGELOW b. 18 Dec 1864 in Grenwell, IA to parents Alonzo J. BIGELOW and Emaline MARR, married Ellen S. JOHNSON b. 1873 in Sweden to parents John JOHNSON and Anna S. FOUTHYMAN, on 17 Nov 1895 in Belle Plaine, IA. Llewellyn died 12 May 1948 in Sonoma, CA.
