Sigler, Adam V., capitalist, Lake City, is the ninth child of Adam and
Jemina (Van Horn) Sigler. The latter were born in New Jersey, of Dutch
descent, and settled in Decatur, Mifflin county, Pennsylvania. Here was
born the subject of this sketch, August 20, 1814, and four children were
given to his parents after that. Adam V. Sigler received a limited
education in the common schools of Decatur, and began mercantile life at
eighteen in a store at Lewistown, in his native county. In 1836 he went
into business in partnership with George Patton (elsewhere sketched in
this work), at Allenville, same county. After the retirement of his
partner, Mr. Sigler continued the business eight years there, and two at
Lewistown. Early in the spring of 1856 he became a resident of Lake City,
and invested his capital in lots and buildings, which have yielded him a
handsome income. His retirement from active life dates at this time, and
he is now passing a hale and peaceful old age in the midst of long-time
friends and associates. He is a member of the Presbyterian church, and was
connected with the Sons of Temperance while a lodge existed here.
Politically, began with the whig party and is now republican. In December,
1860, Mr. Sigler took a life partner in the person of Miss Matilda E.
Guyer, born in Peoria, Illinois. Of six children born to this couple, only
one is now alive, born ten years ago, and christened William Wilberforce.
Two died of scarlet fever, within a space of ten days.
