He and his sons carried on the marble works here for some years, which will now be carried on by his son, George. Deceased was well-to-do, and leaves the family very well provided for. He leaves one daughter and six sons, of whom two sons are married-one in Wainfleet, the other is in the marble works at Clifton. His wife went to England some years ago on a visit, where she died. Mr. Riggs in politics was a staunch Conservative, a good honest member of society, and he will be very much missed. The family have the sympathy of the whole neighborhood.
