Birdsall, Edgar M., Buffalo, was born in the town of Ledyard, Cayuga county, N. Y., June 27, 1837, and in 1844
removed with his parents to the village of Genoa, in the same county, where his father engaged in the foundry and
machine business with Abram W. Stevens as an associate, continuing the copartnership until 1860. During that period
young Birdsall received his education and also practical experience as a mechanical engineer in the firm's establishment.
After dissolving the copartnership with Mr. Stevens Mr. Birdsall, sr., removed the business to Penn Van, Yates
county, N. Y., where Edgar M. was his associate and partner for a few years, when he sold his interest, and the
business was continued by the son and others under the firm name of E. M. Birdsall & Co., until 1881; it was
then removed to Auburn, N. Y., and incorporated as the E. M. Birdsall Company. Mr. Birdsall was president of this
corporation until 1887, when he voluntarily withdrew and severed all relations with the concern. In 1888 he removed
to Buffalo, where he has since resided, being engaged in business as a mechanical engineer and manufacturers' agent.
February 13, 1862, he married Mary, daughter of Alexander Bothwell, of Genoa, N. Y.
