General Notes: Husband - Henry M. Riggle


He was a farmer, fruit-grower and horseman, and resided on his estate of ninety-eight acres, on which he had 1,000 fruit trees and 800 grape vines.
He obtained his education in the district schools of South Franklin Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and from early youth was interested in all kinds of farm pursuits. He leased the Manufacturers' Light and Heat Company's farm, which was located a short distance from Washington on the turnpike road, consisting of 165 acres of land, which he devotes to farming and stock raising. He was much interested in raising fine stock and was a good judge of the same. He owns some full blooded English shire horses, which had many superior points.
He and his family were members of the Presbyterian Church, of which he was a trustee and also a member of the board of elders. In his political affiliation he was always a Democrat. He served in a number of public capacities: while residing in Morris Township for some years, he served there as assessor, school director and constable and he was also supervisor at different times.
