Author: H. W. Beckwith (1881)

   Henry Quiggle, farmer and stock raiser, Attica, was born in Adams county,
Pennsylvania, November 18, 1841. His ancestry was German, and his parents were
George and Mary (Shely) Quiggle. He was reared a farmer, and received a common
school education. In 1865 he came to Fountain county, and spent two years
working as a hand on a farm. In the autumn of 1866 he returned to Pennsylvania
and was married February 28, 1867, to Susan Whitmer, daughter of Henry and
Katherine (Eiholtz) Whitmer, born January 7, 1845. In the spring of 1867 he
returned with his wife to Fountain county, and has since lived here. They
occasionally pay visits to their native home. They have had six children: Cora,
born November 4, 1867; Laura, November 13, 1869; John, March 4, 1872; Ira,
February 20, 1874; Frank, August 27, 1876, and Elmer, September 20 (died October
25), 1878. Mrs. Quiggle belongs to the Methodist Episcopal church, and Mr.
Quiggle is a member of Richland Lodge, No. 205, A.F. and A.M., at Newtown. He
was reared a democrat, but had too much intelligence to allow his manhood and
usefulness to be impaired by party bondage, and so has torn away, when he
thought reason dictated, from the attachments formed by early training, before
his judgment had matured, and voted the republican ticket and principles as
often as the other.
