CROSSED THE PLAINS MANY YEARS AGO

MRS. EVALINE H. RIGGS

SALEM, Or. Feb. 7.
One of Oregon’s pioneers of 1850, Mrs. Evaline H. Riggs, 72 years old, died 
here the first of this week, after an illness of three days. Her body was 
taken to Salt Creek cemetery, where the funeral services were held, and placed 
besides that of her husband, who died four years ago. Mrs. Riggs was born in 
Virginia in 1830, and the family moved to Iowa, and afterward to Oregon. In 
1850 her father, John H. Nicklin, settled on a donation claim near Salt Creek, 
Polk County, where she resided until 1864. She afterward lived in Salem. In 
1851 she married Rufus A. Riggs, of Polk County, and six children were born to 
them, these five surviving: J.B. Riggs, Mrs. M.M. Fleming, Mrs. T. J. Cronise, 
Mrs. Emma Childs, of this city, and Dr. J.O. Riggs, of Portland. The dead 
woman is also survived by a brother and sister Dr. T.L. Nicklin, of Portland, 
and Mrs. Emily Comegys, of Pendleton
