These parents came from what is now West Virginia, near Sistersville, as young married people, and settled at Senecaville, Ohio. Simeon Riggs worked in the woolen mills of Senecaville, operating a carding machine, and in later years he operated a woolen mill for himself. He was a man of affairs, successful in business and popular and influential in his community. He applied himself very closely to whatever he had in hand and he was a man of many commendable traits of disposition. His family consisted of four children, two sons and two daughters, namely: Eugene C., of this review; Ellen, who became Mrs. Eli Dunnoway, now deceased; she and her husband had moved to Iowa, where he died, her death occurring some years afterwards at her home at Cedar Rapids; she was a woman given to much charity, her life being devoted to the care of orphan children. Sophia Riggs married John Christie, who moved to near Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Mr. Christie died there on his farm, Mrs. Christie subsequently moving to California, where she died in 1909. Noah H. Riggs, the youngest of the family, is a retired farmer, residing in Indianola, Iowa. The parents of these children have long been deceased, the mother dying in 1841 and the father in 1848, and they are both buried in the cemetery at Senecaville, Ohio.
