husband Thom Wiggins. In 1901, he took the train north, and was forced to stop 
in Cyphers because of a blizzard. He was offered a job in the blacksmith shop 
and remained there for 10 years. In the summer he was a fishing guide on area 
lakes.  He never married and retired to a small house in Walker MN in 1939 and 
died of a heart attack on June 12, 1940.
