PIGG, DYER



John PIGG is one of nine children and the son of Edmund and Rebecca PIGG,

who were born in Virginia and North Carolina in 1803 and 1808, and died in

1884 and 1874, respectively.  Our subject was born June 9, 1847, and spent

his early days on his father's farm.  In 1876 he was married to Ida DYER,

who was born in Lincoln County in 1857, and is a daughter of J. W. and

Narcissa DYER.  Mr. and Mrs. PIGG have three children: James E., Rebecca

and Ida M.  Mr. PIGG resided with his parents until twenty-eight years of

age, but after his twenty-first birthday began doing for himself.  He was

in partnership with his father and brother, Claybone, in the farming

interests eight years, and then worked on the home-farm four years longer.

He now owns a farm of 450 acres, on which he resides, besides 200 acres in

another tract; and, in connection with his brother, Joseph, owns 1,000

acres in Lawrence County.  He is an energetic and honest business man and

as such as the respect of all.  He raises, buys and ships a large amount of

stock, and in politics he is a Democrat.  He is a member of the Masonic

fraternity.
