Bigham Photo can be seen at: http://www.usgwarchives.net/il/montgomery/photos/bigham1691gph.jpg Image file size: 159.5 Kb Emanuel Kershner Bigham was b 2 Jan 1835, Hagerstown, Washington Co. MD, the son of Joseph Bigham and Mary Ann Kershner. He married Laura Ann McGahey on 1 Jan 1874, Montgomery Co. IL. Although this photo is quite faded, what is interesting to me is the back of it where the photographer is shown to be Mrs. N. A. Robinson, East Side Public Square, Hillsboro, IL. In an age when few women had careers, apparently Mrs. Robinson took advantage of the new art and set herself up in business.
