John R. Pigg, merchant at Calhoun, is the son of David H. Pigg, who was born in 
Clark County, Kentucky, December 23, 1819. His parents were William and Polly 
(Hampton) Pigg. In 1843 he removed to Henry County, Missouri, and settled in 
Calhoun, where John P. was born July 19, 1850. He passed his youth in Calhoun, 
receiving his education in the common schools, and when about fifteen years old 
he went to work in his father's mill, remaining therein until 1869. Then he 
engaged in merchandising with J. W. Tutridge, with whom he was associated until 
1875, when he sold out. He again embarked in the same business in that year and 
now owns a good store building which is filled with a large stock of general 
merchandise. He has taken a great interest in educational matters, and has been 
elected director of the district a number of terms. He belongs to the I. O. O. F. 
fraternity of which he is secretary. At Carthage, Illinois, July 4, 1872, Mr. Pigg 
was married to Miss Lucy J. Smith, a daughter of J. B. and Harriet Smith. They 
have three children: Hattie M., Ella F. and Aggie D.; one, an infant is deceased.
