Bisbee Miners

I came across this picture. Can somebody help me identify or know who these men are. This picture was taken around 1890-1900. The man on the bottom row, second man starting from the left looks like my Grandfather Angel Baldenegro, but I am not sure if that's him.



Note the candles in this circa 1908 image. Miners used the light from candles to illuminate their dark work environments until electricity was installed in Bisbee’s mines. The image is from the photograph collection of the Bisbee Mining & Historical Museum. Discover more Bisbee, Arizona images and artifacts at www.facebook.com/.... #bisbee #arizona #mining #copper

Richard Baldenegro, 78 of Sierra Vista, passed away on January 9, 2015 after a brief illness at Tucson Medical Center. He was a resident at Devon & Gables Rehab Center in Tucson for the past few years. Richard was born in Tombstone Arizona on June 4, 1936 to Angel and Laura Baldenegro, both deceased.
He attended Tombstone Schools and graduated in 1954. As he was growing up, he learned to cut meat at Sanders Grocery Store in Tombstone, and that’s where he began his profession as a meat cutter. He worked through out Southern Arizona, Tucson, Ft. Huachuca and Sierra Vista as a meat cutter until he retired. Richard loved hunting and fishing until diabetes would not allow him to do that anymore. Richard also played the piano and played at the Crystal Palace Saloon in Tombstone for many years, everyone loved to hear him play.
His favorite team was the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Wildcats. Richard is survived by his siblings Barbra (Pat) Underwood, of Montana, Martha (Jerry) Schooner of Alaska, Angel (Renee) Baldenegro of Utah, and Ralph Baldenegro of California. Also his son Richard (Terry) Baldenegro of Sierra Vista and daughter Laura (Richard) White of California and many nieces and nephews.
As Richard’s wishes, there will be no Funeral Services as he will be cremated and his ashes will be spread at one of his favorite spots, “Baldenegro Hill” (as Mr. Bennett use to call it), at a later time. A Mass Service will be held at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Tombstone on January
