General Notes: Husband - William Parker Siggins

---

He was reared in Harmony township, Forest County, Pennsylvania, where he always resided. He was in the Civil war, enlisting August 6, 1861, in Company G, Eighty-third Pennsylvania Volunteers; was wounded in the breast at Fredericksburg, and honorably discharged after three years' service. He succeeded to the old original Siggins homestead in 1883, on the death of his uncle, Isaac Siggins, Esq. Politically he was a Democrat, and served as constable and collector of Harmony township several years.

On August 6, 1861, he enlisted in the ranks of the Union Army as a private in Company G, 83d Reg., Pa. Vol. Inf., and was discharged as sergeant. He participated in many battles and was twice wounded. At the battle of Fredericksburg his breast was crushed in by a piece of shell and he was wounded in the leg in the battle of Gettysburg. He was mustered out of service and honorably discharged at Harrisburg, September 22, 1864.
He was postmaster for fourteen years consecutively up to Cleveland's term, was reappointed to the same position in March, 1895, and was held over in McKinley's administration. He was a member of the G. A. R. and was adjutant in that organization. Like his father, he was a Democrat and served in several town offices, some of which he resigned to become postmaster. Mr. Siggins was engaged in the mercantile business for a number of years, but later devoted all his time to his post-office duties. [BOB37JD, 322]
