Father of Three Local Women Died At Home in Lander
Clarence Riggs, 66, father of three Green River women, was found dead and the body frozen in his Lander home one day last week. A paralytic stroke is ascribed as the cause of death. The body was found by his brother-in-law, Charles Large, who had gone to Riggs' abode to inquire about him. Riggs, a widower, lived alone, and is believed to have been dead for several days.
Funeral services were held at Lander LDS church Thursday of last week, and interment was at Manila, Utah, Friday. Attending the services were Mrs. Bertha Twitchell, Mrs. Vanona Barnum and Miss Cora Riggs, daughters, of Green River. Others attending include three granddaughters, Mrs. Elna McReynolds and Wilma and Lenor Anson of Murray, Utah, and Harold Nelson, a nephew, of Jackson.
Riggs was the father of seven daughters, who survive him; also 13 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. He was born in Panguitch, Utah, and in 1913 was married to Ellen Large, who passed away 19 years ago. The family resided in Manila, Utah, for many years.
