General Notes: Husband - Lavern Alexander Siggins
LAVERN ALEXANDER SIGGINS; died March 8, 1893, at his home, No. 11 Elm Street, Warren, Pa.; he was born March 10, 1842, at Youngsville, Pa., and has lived in this county practically all his life, the last forty years having been spent in Warren and vicinity.
He owned and resided for many years on the farm now occupied by Mrs. A. Graham and Son, Florists, and was for quite a long time engaged in the livery business in Warren.
During the latter years of his life he has resided in Warren and devoted most of his time to the care of his oil property; he was a man of exemplary habits throughout life, and in his business and social dealings represented an unquestioned integrity, industry and sterling merit which were remarked by all with whom he came in contact.
He was of a retiring disposition, finding much of his enjoyment within his home circle; but revealed an unusually sympathetic and kindly nature to all those who were priviledged to know him.
As a citizen he was unpretentious, but was interested in all things pertaining to the public welfare and contributed real merit to the duties of citizenship.
He leaves to survive him, in addition to his wife, three sons; Clyde and Ray of Cody, Wyo., George of Warren, Mrs. John D. Wells, of Buffalo, Mrs. W. S. Clark, of Warren, two of his daughters; three brothers also survive: William L., David H., and Benjamin V.; also four sisters, Mrs. J. F. Rounce, Mrs. William D. Hatch, Mrs. Charles A. Lincoln and Mrs. Worth Jaquins, "and Edna L. Siggins, a daughter."
Same source gives his date of death as March 8, 1913.
General Notes: Wife - Margaret Bedora Hunter
Died May 14th, 1915. MRS. MARGARET B. Siggins, widow of the late Lavern Alexander Siggins.
"Fate has measured and snipped the life of another Tidiouter, this time calling into death Mrs. Margaret B. Siggins, of Warren, who passed away Friday afternoon after two weeks' illness; the funeral was held Monday last, interment being private at Oakland Cemetery, in Warren.
She is survived by the following children: J. C. and R. B. Siggins of Cody, Wyo.; Edna Louise Siggins, Mrs. J. D. Wells, Mrs. W. S. Clark, and George H. Siggins, two sisters also survive, Mrs. D. B. Everett, of Jamestown, and Mrs. Louise Tipton. Mrs. Sigging was a daughter of Matthew P. and Sarah (Magill) Hunter; she was born and spent most of her life in this community, schooled in the hardy democratic ways of this frontier section, and coming from Scotch-Irish stock, she was ever noted for her cheerful and charitable disposition and sterling character, this is attested by her friends in this locality as well as by her neighbors in Warren.
Her husband, Lavern Alexander Siggins, to whom she was married May 10, 1863, died March 8, 1913, they moved to Warren from Tidioute in 1868; Mrs. Siggins was 69 years of age, she was a member of the First M. E. Church in Warren and was active in various church organizations."
