General Notes: Husband - Orion Siggins


He was reared on the old family homestead, where he always thereafter resided, following farming up to 1877, after which time he was in the real estate business, also lumbering quite extensively. He was one of the prominent and lead-ing citizens of Forest County, Pennsylvania, full of vim and enterprise, and always ready and willing to give liberally of his means for the welfare of the community in which he lived. He donated the grounds for the fine tannery and for numer-ous other purposes at West Hickory; gave large possessions to the Western New York & Pennsylvania Railroad; also assisted in the construction of other public benefits, and by this liberal policy founded what became a flourishing town.
