  • 24 Jan 2009 email from Frank Gruber of Cincinnati, Ohio
    Apparently my ancestor, Spillman Riggs, attended the National Normal University located in Lebanon, Ohio sometime in the early 1880's according to Who's who in the Lyceum, By Alfred Augustus Wright, Page: 153. 
    "RIGGS, Spillman, Lecturer; b. Kenton Co., Ky., Nov. 29, 1863; ed. publ sch. and Nat. Normal Univ., Lebanon, O.; m. Minnetta Henneberger, Akron, O., Nov. 5, 1902....".
    29 Jan 2009 email from Frank Gruber of Cincinnati, Ohio
    Please find attached two photographs of Harry Spillman Riggs.  My guess is that the top photo more accurately depicts his age at the time he attended NNU.  The book "Who's who in the Lyceum" incorrectly gives his birth year as 1863. The day and month is correct but he was born in 1868. Harry's first marriage occurred in 1887. I think he probably would have attended NNU circa 1885-1886.
