General Notes: Husband - George Washington Siggins
He received his education at the local public schools, passing his boyhood days on his father's farm, where he assisted in the general work. He afterwards became a clerk in the store of John Siggins and was eventually a partner in the business. He came to Tidioute, Warren County, Pennsylvania, in 1884, and bought a farm of fifty-five acres in extent from James Wells, and to this he added twenty acres which he bought from John Breitenstine, making seventy-five acres in all. He conducted this farm from the time of its purchase and after his death the property remained in the hands of his widow. Mr. Siggins had also in early life acquired a knowledge of the milling business with N. G. Ball and he was thus enabled to assume the management of the flour mills of A. Dunn, in Tidioute, and this was conducted by him until March 18, 1911. He seemed to have been a man of great mechanical ability and could turn his hand to anything in that line, being naturally an excellent carpenter, blacksmith, millwright, and even repairer of his own automobile, which he came to own in later years. He prospered greatly in his business undertakings, and about 1895 purchased a residence on the south side of the Allegheny river, near the Economite bridge which there crossed it. His standing in the community was very high, and he was one of the leading and most influential citizens of this place. He died at Tidioute, Pennsylvania, having passed all of his life in Forest and Warren counties. He was a Democrat, and served on the school board and was appointed road commissioner. In his religious convictions he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, as was also his wife who survived him.
