My Dearest Husband: - by Elizabeth Riggs
Financial woes, child-rearing, and employment concerns sound like modern problems, but Lizzie and Berte Ingels faced those same troubles in 1893 and faced them halfway across the nation from each other. Their letters invite today's readers to share the challenges and the joys of life on an Ohio River farm in Victorian times. Elizabeth Riggs, their granddaughter, has woven the letters into a narrative that tells their story. As a senior in high school in 1885, Lizzie kept a journal which vividly describes her studies and commencement as well as her adventures on the Ohio that year. She later treasured Berte's romantic notes during their engagement in 1890. The letters, the journal, and the pre-nuptial notes together provide a window into a time gone by. Lizzie and Berte never made the history books, but their words make history come to life.

Will Be Held in Riggs Home Friday 2 O'Clock Hour Set
Burial At Mound Hill
Funeral services for Mrs. Elizabeth Riggs Ingels, wife of Bert H. Ingels, will be held at the Ernest J. Riggs home at Raccoon Island at 2 o'clock Friday. Rev. H. W. DeWolfe, Methodist pastor on the Eureka circuit, will have charge. Interment will be made in Mound Hill cemetery by George J. Wetherholt & Sons.
The body was brought here yesterday afternoon from Chillicothe where she had died early that morning. She had been seriously ill for 18 months and virtually helpless the last six months. On that account she and Mr. Ingels had been living since last fall at the home of their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cargo.
Truman Ingels, the only surviving son, is expected to arrive late today. He is coming from Shawano, Wisconsin, where he is the manager of a 5 and 10 cent store.
Elizabeth Riggs was born Aug. 16, 1864, and was in her 78th year. She and Mr. Ingels were married Aug.6, 1890, at the Riggs homestead. She was a lifelong member of Clay Chapel Methodist church.
Except for the few months in Chillicothe and a few years in Gallipolis when their two children were attending school here, Mrs. Ingels was a resident of Clay tp. She was esteemed as a high type of Christian womanhood, as a capable and devoted wife and mother and home-maker, and a loyal supporter of causes she deemed worthy.
