General Notes: Husband - Richard Quiggle


He was educated in the local schools, which were conducted on the subscription plan. He grew to manhood at the farm, and then after spending several years as a pilot on the Susquehanna river, he became a section foreman on the Pennsylvania railroad, a position he filled satisfactorily for some time. One night while on the road between Lock Haven and Jersey Shore, he was attacked by robbers and left insensible on the track in such a posture that a passing freight train cut off one of his legs. The railroad company paid only his doctor bill, and as he was incapacitated for active manual labor, he located on a farm in Pine Creek township, Clinton County, and in connection with its management he operated the "Quiggle ferry".
Politically he was a stanch Democrat, and he and his wife were both consistent members of the Methodist Church.
