JOSEPH C. SCROGGS, who is recognized as a well-posted fire insurance man, is 
now inspector for the Illinois Valley Inspection Bureau, with headquarters in 
Joliet.  He received his appointment from the Western Insurance Union July 1, 
1890, and still remains in charge.

Mr. Scroggs, who is of Scotch-Irish ancestry, was born and educated in western 
Pennsylvania and removed to Rock Island, Ill., in 1851. He has been a resident 
of Illinois continuously since that date in Rock Island, Macomb, Galesburg, 
Quincy, Chicago and Joliet. He has been connected with fire insurance 
interests continuously except for two years (1861-62), when he was in the 
army. He was for some ten years engaged in the local fire insurance business 
at Galesburg and Quincy; was for some time special agent in Illinois for the 
AEtna Insurance Company; was afterward special agent for the Fireman's Fund 
Insurance Company of California, and also for the Germania Fire Insurance 
Company of New York, in their western departments.

Mr. Scroggs lost his wife in 1872 and has remained single since that date. He 
has a son and a daughter. His son, C. L. Scroggs, of Chicago, is connected 
with the Whitebreast Fuel Company, and is also secretary of the Coal 
Operators' Association of Illinois. His daughter, Nellie M. Wilson, with her 
husband, resides in Mt. Vernon, Ill.
