Joseph Riggs was born on
Sancho, Tyler county, West Vr-
ginia, April Is, 1888, and depart
ed this life after a protracted Ill
ness at the same place, November
%, 1904, aged &c years, Z months
and 13 days. In an effort to
write this obituary to the memory
of the deceased we do not mean
to pronounce any vain eulogy be-
cause il is customary to eulogize
the dead.
Since integrity and Christian
fidelity had gained for him in
this community profound respect
years before we were permitted to
know him.
He was converted and joined
the NJ. P. church nearly 40 years
ago, and died an honored member
of the same. While he had ways
peculiar to himself, like all other
men in general, and like no other
one in particular, he was one
among the few men we have
known in life whom everybody
had confidence in and spoke well
of, no one doubted his honesty;
he was a model man, faithful in
all the relations of life; his ideal
of life was to do good; his advice
to all was to live honest, upright
lives; of course, it was given in
his own way; he abhorred hypoc-
risy and never assumed to be any
one else but Joe Riggs.
Mark such a man and behold
him in the hour of death, as peace
