General Notes: Husband - Hubert Paxton Wiggins
He was reared and educated at Indiana, Pennsylvania, being a graduate of the State normal school at that place, and later he located in Homestead, Pennsylvania, where he secured employment as a printer, which trade he had learned at Indiana, in the establishment of M. P. & J. R. Schooley, then the proprietors of the Homestead News. Subsequently, Mr. Wiggins purchased the plant of the Homestead Messenger, a daily paper, and associated with him Miss Sarah Parry. The News was then bought, and the two papers consolidated as the News-Messenger. Later Miss Parry disposed of her interest to A. D. Slocum, and Messrs. Wiggins and Slocum continued the newspaper and jobbing business under the name of the Messenger publishing company, and had one of the best equipped plants in the Monongahela valley. The partners also acquired considerable property about Homestead.
