Capt. John NJ. SigwOrth, Dead.

Friends here received word last week
of the death of Captain John M. Sigworth
at Washington, d. c., on December q,
1910, after an illness extending over a
long period, the indirect cause being
mountain fever, which he contracted
while in the military service in the Phil
ippines. Captain Sigworth was native
of Barnett township Forest county, and
had remarkable military record. He
was 80 years old and was the son of An
drew L. Sigworth. who was former
county commissioner of Forest county,
and who still resides at Scotch Hill, Clar-
ion county, at the age So years. Cap
tain Sigworth resided in Clarion county
until he was IL years old, teaching school
in his l7Lh year. Then he went west and
learned telegraphy, being Associated
Press operator on one of the Chicago
papers for time. He Joined the United
States signal service and participated In
the Dakota Indian wars under General
Miles. He afterward attended the war
college at Fort Leavenworth and finally
was appointed a lieutenant by Grover
Cleveland during the latter's first term as
president.
When the war with Spain started Cap
tain Sigworth had charge of company in
the Ninth United States infantry. Being
assigned to Cuba, he participated in The
fight of San Juan hill and his company
was one of the first to enter Santiago.
After the Cuban campaign he returned to
Montauk Point and from there was sent
to the Philippines. He participated in all
the important engagements on the islands
and when the Boxer uprising started he
was sent to China. There he had the dis
tinction of being placed in charge of the
gates leading to the Sacred City in Pekin.
For their services in guarding property
Captain Sigworth and his two lieutenants
were voted gold medals by the Chinese
| government, but under the laws of this
government they were not permitted to
accept them. Tnese medals are now in
the treasury department at Washington
and it is likely that congress by special
enactment will authorize Captain Sig
worth's medal to be turned over to his
family.
Since returning from the Philippines
Captain Sigworth has been assigned to
duty as instructor in southern college
and performed the duties as army pay
master.
Besides his father Captain Sigworth
leaves wife, whom he married in New
ORLEANS, and one daughter; also the fol-
lowing brothers and sisters: James A. of
Gas City, Ind; Horace g. of Mt. 'Jewett;
Mrs. j, A. Weaver, of Franklin; Mrs.
Mary Magee, of Mt. Jewet,;. Mrs. Robert
McClosky, of Bridgeport, H.; Miss Rose
Sigworth, of Franklin. w. A. Henry of
Brook-ville, Mrs. o. L. Mills of Scotch
Hill, and our townsman, Ssmue M. Hen
ry, are step-brothers and sister of the de-
ceased.
The obsequiesI werc held in Washing
