General Notes: Husband - Isaac Connely Siggins

---

He was born on the farm, settled by his father, which was situated on the west bank of the Allegheny River in Harmony Township, Forest County, Pennsylvania. From his father he inherited many sterling qualities. In those early days schools were almost unknown-the few that existed were poorly equipped, hence the Siggins boys, William, George S., Isaac and James, depended almost wholly on their parents for instruction. But their advancement was rapid and no opportunity for mental improvement was neglected. Isaac was possessed of unusually fine intellectual perceptions and was an inveterate reader; he was well posted on all topics of the day. His judgment was rarely at fault. It was ever a delight to talk with "Uncle Isaac", as he was called by the neighbors, for there was always instruction as well as entertainment in these conversations. His reminiscences of early days when the country was a wilderness and the Indians still lingered on the outskirts of the settlements were clear and full of interest. He was a good representative of this family of sturdy pioneers whose name was closely identified with the progress and upbuilding of this section of the country. He often told his nieces and nephews that his grandmother, Sarah Hood, was near of kin to Admiral Hood. They were hardy and intelligent and left a lasting imprint on the younger generation as they grew up around them. He will long be remembered and honored as one of the foremost of the sturdy pioneers of the Upper Allegheny Valley. He died on the Siggins farm at West Hickory, Pennsylvania, where most of his life had been spent. ⁷
