Wilcox Progressive Era
Thursday, April 25, 1901
   On Wednesday, April 17th, 1901, the soul of Mr. Thomas Riggs of Pleasant Hill, 
Ala., passed into the great beyond. He enjoyed a ripe old age - about 88 years,
and led a very active life until recently when he has been in feeble health. His
condition became serious about a week before his death and his daughter, Mrs. 
J. P. Fairly, was summoned to the bedside on the 14th and was with him until the
end. 
   Mr. Riggs was married three times. His last wife and ten children survive 
him.
   The Era extends sympathy to the bereaved.
