Noted Missionary to Sioux Indians Passes in Oakland
The religious world lost a man of unusual life history in the passing this last week of Dr. Frederick B. Riggs, of 1421 Allman Street. He came from a well-known pioneer missionary family to the Dakota or Sioux Indians. The family has given three generations and one hundred years to that work. Dr. Riggs' grandfather produced the Bible and the dictionary in the Indian language.
Dr. Riggs had served for 43 years, first as general missionary traveling over the Dakotas and then as head of the Santee Normal Training School, at Santee, Neb. When he retired in 1933 both the Boston Transcript and the Literary Digest carried accounts of his life. Upon his retirement he moved to Oakland, where he became an active member and officer in the First Congregational Church. At the funeral services last Monday afternoon, telegrams were read from national church leaders and leaders among the Indians.
Dr. Reidenbach, pastor of the First Congregational Church, and Dr. H. H. Gill, State superintendent of the Congregational Churches of Northern California officiated. Mrs. Riggs, who served 35 years in the Indian work, survives. Mrs. Charles Cooley, of Oakland, whose husband is a coach of athletes and teacher at McClymonds High School, is a daughter.
