General Notes: Husband - Robert C. Quiggle
He may be said to be self-educated, as the schools of his section were very poor in the early times, and his attendance was limited on account of the need of his help at home. After his father's death he went into partnership with his brother Jacob in farming and lumbering, and continued for nearly half a century, working together in perfect harmony and keeping a common treasury upon which either could draw when he wanted money. Notwithstanding the extent of their business and the large sums constantly passing through their hands, they never felt the need of making a contract, and at their settlement, in 1892, they divided the property equally. They continued to own many acres of timber land in partnership, and for many years they had an extensive tract devoted to the raising of tobacco.
He had eighty acres of good farming land, and was one of the chief tobacco growers of the locality. For forty-two years he was a pilot on the Susquehanna, running "arks" and rafts down to Marietta, Pennsylvania, and, in addition to his own lumber operations, he filled many contracts for carrying lumber to market for others. Beginning in 1894 he and his son conducted a profitable mercantile business at Pine Station. He owned a fine residence there, built after designs prepared by himself, and his tobacco sheds and barns also were designed by him, and were built with his own hands. He also owned several dwelling houses in the town. Despite all his hard work he was remarkably vigorous into old age, never knowing sickness, and he could do as much in a day as most men who were a score of years younger. In politics he was a sound Democrat, and for twenty-five years he was township assessor, for three years tax-collector, and for some time he was school director, acting as president of the board during a part of the period. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which he held the office of trustee, and for many years he was superintendent of the Sunday-school. Socially, he was identified with the Masonic order, being a member of Labell Valley Blue Lodge, No. 232, F. & A. M., at Jersey Shore; Lafayette Chapter, No. 163, F. & A. M., at Lock Haven; Baldwin Commandery, No. 22, of Williamsport; and the Order of the Mystic Shrine, at Philadelphia.
