The Riggle Boys

The only other house on Domino Lane was the Riggles'. It was on a small farm that extended back as far as Paoli Avenue. Mr. Riggle was a house painter and had two sons, Frank and Lloyd. We knew these boys well and later, Frank Riggle and my brother Joe traveled to western Canada one summer to help in the wheat harvest. The following year they drove through the western and southern United States while working for a week or two here and there to pay expenses. Frank Riggle later married and ran a pig farm near Creamery, Pa. The last that I heard of Lloyd Riggle he was living at or was mayor of some seashore town in southern New Jersey.
In later years, Frank Riggle bought a farm near Perkiomenville, Pa. During his time at the Creamery farm he had worked as a guard at night at the nearby Graterford Prison. In order to keep awake in his darkened guardhouse atop the wall, he later told us, he would read by the light of a small light about six inches from the floor. What he read was always religious literature put out by the "Jehovah Witness" group. In time he became so interested he could not talk or think of anything else. I have lost track of him and the family over the last thirty years.
