   Thomas C. Wiggins, farmer, Attica, was born in Logan township, October 8,

1830. In 1828 his parents, Joseph and Sarah (Foster) Wiggins, settled in this

place on Sec. 16; the next year his father entered a piece of land where the

subjeet [sic] of this sketch has always lived. His father and mother both died

on the place, the former in 1860 and the latter in 1872. He received a good

English education at the Friends Bloomingdale Academy in Parke county, and at

the Farmers' Institute in Tippecanoe county, attending each a year after he

became of age. On the 27th of February, 1862, he was united in marriage with

Maria J. Herring, who died in 1869, having borne two children: Clara, born

December 12, 1862, and Lettie, August 20, 1866. Mr. Wiggins has been township

assessor the last five or six years, and was census enumerator of Logan township

for 1880. His political views are republican.
