Edmund's mother, Sally, died when he was five years old. He only recalled her as a glorified presence filling his childhood's home. From her he derived some of his most engaging traits. She was a woman of mark. A daughter of Abijah Bigelow, of the distinguished old Middlesex family of that name, which has given to Boston a Mayor; a Chief Justice, a Speaker of the House, and a Secretary of State to Massachusetts; to the country, a Minister to France; and a famous inventor of textile mechanism to the world at large. Abijah Bigelow, the maternal grandfather, fought at Lexington when 19yrs. of age, and when 80yrs. old led west, where he died 12 years later, a family migration, founding a settlement called Bigelow's Mills in northern Indiana."
