General Notes: Husband - Thomas Quiggle
In an old log school-house of the neighborhood he attended the subscription schools during the winter months, while the summer seasons were spent at work on the farm. There in adulthood he still continued operations, and made many valuable and useful improvements on the place, building a fine residence, good barns, tobacco sheds and other buildings, the cost of which amounted to about $4,000. Besides farming Mr. Quiggle spent over forty-five years as pilot on the west branch of the Susquehanna, running from Lock Haven to Columbia, Marietta and other points with "arks" and rafts of lumber. He also worked in the lumber regions with his brothers, Jacob and Robert C., but after 1885 devoted his entire time to agricultural pursuits. He was interested in the raising of tobacco beginning in 1860.
Socially he affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and religiously he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was an unwavering supporter of the Democratic party. For over twelve years he served as school director, but never cared for political distinction.
