At the age of ten years he moved to Rock Island county, Illinois, where he lived nearly two years. In the spring of 1839 he came with his parents to Cedar county and they located on a farm near Tipton. In the spring of 1850 he went to California and engaged in mining for a period of three years. He then returned to Cedar county and resumed farming. He was also engaged for a time in milling. In 1868 he purchased the homestead where his early years had been passed and where he lived until 1902. At this time he came with his family to Tipton, where he died June 22, 1903. In December, 1863, Mr. Dwigans was married to Mrs. Mary Leabhart, formerly Miss Mary Ives. One son, Charles, was born to them. In 1884, at the age of nineteen when life held so much of promise for him, death claimed this son. This was the one great sorrow of Mr. Dwigans' life, yet he was submissive, recognizing in the Hand that had taken, the same kindness that had given. A son of Mrs. Dwigans, Mr. Ora Leabhart, with his wife and son, has always lived in the home with the parents. They were bound to Mr. Dwigans by the strongest ties of affection, both giving and receiving the same love that would exist between parent and children. The grandson, Herman, was especially loved by him and the place of his own boy. His one anxiety was that Herman should become a useful man. These, with the wife, one brother and one sister survive Mr. Dwigans. In 1872, under the pastorate of Rev. George Metzgar, he was converted and united with the M. E. church at West Bethel. He was ever faithful to this church home, supporting it with his presence, his prayers and his means. He never allowed trivial matters to keep him from the Lord's house on His day. Last Sunday he missed for the first time the Children's Day exercises of the Bethel church. Illness kept him away. His was a gentle nature, ever loyal to right and justice yet never censuring the faults of others. He looked for and found the good that is in the world. A helpful neighbor, a most kind friend, a christian man.
