Twigg was graduated from Allegany County High School Maryland, the Allegany Academy, Saint John's College, Annapolis, Maryland, and Johns Hopkins University, from which he was graduated in 1917, being advanced in his course by several months so as to enable his going abroad with the Johns Hopkins unit and joining the British army. He was commissioned a first lieutenant, was stationed at a base hospital and remained there for a year. Returning to the United States, he spent a few days with his parents at Cumberland and then was sent to Fort Oglethorpe, where he was still serving as a member of the medical staff of General Hospital No. 14. While in England he had a number of interesting experiences, including aeroplane flights, and dining with Sir William Osler at Oxford. Nial Franklin Twigg made the supreme sacrifice during the World War and died October 10, 1918, at the age of twenty-five years at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, of pneumonia. The body of Lieutenant Twigg was returned to Cumberland, and impressive funeral services were held from the home of Dr. and Mrs. Twigg, Rev. Ambrose H. Beavin, rector of Emmanuel Episcopal Church, officiating. Burial was made in Rose Hill Cemetery. The body was in charge of Lieut. Charles L. Larkin, of Connecticut, who was associated with Lieutenant Twigg at General Hospital No. 14 in taking care of epidemic cases, and of Dr. W. F. Twigg, who went to Fort Oglethorpe immediately upon the receipt of the news of his son's serious illness. A military funeral was held at Chattanooga, Tennessee, previous to boarding the train for Cumberland. Following a service by the chaplain, the parade to the station formed, led by the military band, the firing squad, and the entire surgical staff of General Hospital No. 14. At the station three volleys were fired over the casket and taps were sounded. Contributor: THR
