General Notes: Husband - George Quiggle

---

He received a fair education in the subscription schools of the day, learning to read and write both English and German. After coming to Clinton County, Pennsylvania, with the family, he followed the same occupation as his father, much of his time being spent in running "arks" and rafts on the Susquehanna river from Lock Haven to Marietta and Columbia, Pennsylvania, carrying grain or lumber on the downward trips and bringing back merchandise. He purchased 160 acres of land in Wayne township, Clinton County, where he made his permanent home, building a log house and improving the place as his time and means permitted. In politics he was a Democrat, but while he gave loyal support to his party at all times he never sought official honors for himself.
