  Obituary- Riggs, Evaline OBITUARY. Mrs. E.M. Riggs, wife of Mr. Perry Riggs, died at her home in this city Sunday May 20th, at about 5:30 P.M., of heart disease, aged 54 years. Funeral services were held at the house Monday afternoon. Rev. Mr. Frazier officiated. He preached a suitable and instructive discourse, taking as his text the 14th verse of the XVth chapter of Paul's 1st epistle to the Corinthians: - "And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain." Some appropriate hymns were sung by a choir of young ladies, who sang again at the grave. The remains were followed to the Rossville cemetery by a long procession of relatives and friends. The pall-bearers were: T.J. Cox, H. Kline, W.G. Gilbert, Geo. A. Weller, O.H. Young, and H.B. Emerson. The deceased was born at Cincinnati, Ohio April 8th, 1840. At the age of 16 she was married to Mr. Thos. Miller. To them seven children were born, three of whom survive, namely: John, who is married, and who resides in Jackson county; Rosa, who is now Mrs. W.V. Hook, and Ella, now wife of Mr. C.W. Voorheis [sic Vorhies]. For a number of years the family lived in Missouri and Iowa, but moved to Rossville in 1874, where Mr. Miller died about 15 years ago, and in 1881 Mrs. Miller became Mrs. Perry Riggs. She was a very kind mother, and was blessed with a dutiful and affectionate family. She never was so happy as when surrounded by her children and grandchildren. The anniversary of her birthday was generally made the occasion of a family reunion, at which time her kindness as a parent and her skill as a housekeeper were always made manifest.
