circa 1918Circa 1918 FRANCIS BYRNE. Many people gain wealth in this world, many gain distinction in the learned professions, and many are honored with offices of trust and responsibility, but to few is it given to attain so high a place in the esteem and affection of their fellow citizens as that enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs. Francis Byrne, who are known throughout Sauk County for their hospitality. Their spacious and comfortable residence in the Village of Ironton is widely renowned for its charity, hospice having been frequently given to those persons less fortunate in the way of worldly goods than themselves. Farming was long Mr. Byrne's chief occupation but he is now living retired.
A native of the fine old Emerald Isle, Francis Byrne was born in County Cavan, Ireland, in 1842. He is a son of John and Bridget
(Royal) Byrne, who came to America and settled at Lancaster, Ohio, in 1852. Seven years later, in 1859, they located in Richland County, Wisconsin, going thence to Ironton, in which latter place they resided at the time of their demise. Seven children were born to them, as follows: Mary, Alice, Bridget, Francis, Peter, Catherine (deceased) and Ellen. Francis Byrne was ten years of age when he arrived with his parents in the United States. His education consisted of such facilities as were afforded in the public schools of Lancaster, Ohio, and he was seventeen years of age when the family settled in Sauk County. As a young man he purchased a farm of forty acres in Westford Township and he added to that plot until he eventually owned 440 acres in that section. Subsequently he began acquiring land in the vicinity of Ironton, and at one time owned an immense estate of 1,440 acres, parcels of which he has recently given to his sons. His main work in life has been the management of his farms, brain and not brawn building up his fortune. His success in life has proved that the adage of Benjamin Franklin, "He who by the plow would thrive, must either hold the plow or drive," is not cases. For a number of years Mr. Byrne was superintendent of outside works for John F. Smith, at one time owner of practically everything in the vicinity of Ironton. Mr. Bryne set forth on his
journey through life some seventy-five years ago, and from the date of the beginning of his business career at a tender age, under the rapidly shifting skies of success and adversity and through years burning with intense energy and devotion to the manifold affairs of life, he has come to the years of his retirement with undimmed alertness and clearness of mentality and judgment and rejoices that he can still carry the burdens which would overwhelm most men of half his years. In the year 1868 was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Byrne to Miss Anna Slaven, a native of Dane County and a daughter of James Slaven, a pioneer of Dellona. To Mr. and Mrs. Byrne were born five children: John, a farmer near Ironton; James, likewise a farmer; Mary; Frank and Joseph (deceased). The family are Catholic in their religious faith and in politics Mr. Byrne is a stalwart democrat. Mrs. Byrne is a woman of most gracious personality and in conjunction with her husband has extended hospitality to the needy in many walks of life. They are greatly beloved by all who know them and their lives are a fine example of faithful industry and charitableness to the younger generation.

DateLocationDescription
JOHN RIGGERT, merchant, banker and public spirited citizen, has been accumulating interests and responsibilities that make him an important citizen ever since coming to Sauk County over thirty years ago. The center of these interests have been at Loganville. Mr. Riggert was born in Germany December 13, 1868, son of Henry and Catherine (Marquard) Riggert. His father was born August 5, 1826, and his mother June 15, 1828. They were married in Germany and they reared in that country a family of eight children, noted as follows: William, born March 13, 1852; Herman, born March 29, 1854; George, born May 20, 1856; Adolph, born February 1, 1858; Otto, born April 8, 1860; Ernest, born.November 26, 1861; May, born April 20, 1864; and John, born December 13, 1868.
Mr. John Riggert acquired most of his education while a boy in Germany. In 1883, when he was fifteen years of age, he left the Fatherland, crossed the ocean and came to Sauk County, Wisconsin, where he joined some of his older brothers. For one year he attended school at Loganville and acquired a familiarity with the English language. He then entered the store of his brother William as a clerk at Reedsburg, and remained steadily in his employ for nine years. During this time he had familiarized himself with business, gained the confidence of people and was well prepared for embarking in business for himself. In February 1893, he and his brother William established a store at Loganville, and it was started under the name John Riggert & Company, a title which remains to the present time, though after four years, in 1897, Mr. John Riggert bought the entire establishment. For nine years the store was in the old Trexler Building, but in 1902 Mr. Riggert erected a store building of his own, 32 by 80 feet, two stories, and thoroughly stocked with merchandise of every description suited to the trade of that locality.
From handling this business Mr. Riggert's interests have gradually been spread to other affairs. In 1907 he started the Loganville Telephone Exchange, continued the management of the business until it had gained 275 subscribers and in 1917 sold out to W. H. Wheeler. In 1915 Mr. Riggert organized the Loganville State Bank, an institution that furnishes adequate banking facilities to that section of Sauk County. William Riggert is president, Charles King is vice president, while Mr. John Riggert gives his personal superintendence to the bank as cashier, the assistant cashier being Conrad C. Wiesler.

MR. AND MRS. WILLIAM RIGGERT. When, after a prominent resident of a community has been called to his eternal resting, a work of this kind is compiled, it is only to be expected the surviving members of a family shall be prevailed upon to commemorate in this manner, the life of a man who has gone before. So a sketch of the life and achievements of the parties whose honored name heads this biography may stand as a memorial to them in the years to come. Mr. William RIGGERT, deceased, was one of the most prominent figures of his time in Reedsburg, and his widow is still active in community life.
Mr. RIGGERT was born March 18, 1852, at Stadolf, Province of Hanover, Germany, where his early life was spent. At the age of twenty-one, in 1877, married Miss Louise LICHT; they had two son, Hugo and Bruno, the latter deceased. Mrs. RIGGERT died in 1890. During the first two years of his life in Reedsburg he lived with and worked for the late William STOLTE, Sr. He then went to Waukesha, Minn., where he remained five years, working in the mercantile business. Upon his return to Reedsburg, he engaged in that line, and so continued until 1894, when, disposing of his business, he entered the Citizen's Bank. Always a shrewd businessman, he was an able banker, and served the Citizens Bank for many years as cashier and later as president. He was instrumental in founding the State Bank of Loganville, of which institution he was also president. An energetic businessman, he early in his life won recognition for his ability, and for twenty-seven years served as a member of the board of trustees of the Sauk County Poor Farm, was a member of the library board from the time of its organization until a few months of his death over a period of twenty-two years. He was a member of the first city council elected under the city form of government. His death occurred at his home at 547 South Park Street, Reedsburg, Wis., Monday evening, Oct. 3, 1923, at the age of sixty-nine years.
On Dec. 15, 1891, Mr. RIGGERT was united in marriage to Miss Emma HUEBING, who survives him. This lady was born Aug. 19, 1867, in the town of Reedsburg, daughter of William and Catherine (KIPP) HUEBING. Her father was born June 20, 1843, a native of Hanover Province, Germany, a son of Hans Jurgan and Catherine HUEBING. In 1862 William HUEBING came to America, settling on a farm in the town of Reedsburg, where he spent his active years. On March 28, 1864, he married Catherine Dorothea KIPP. She was born in Barum, Germany, Dec. 16, 1845, her parents being Henry and Catherine (BAMEL) KIPP. The KIPP family came to America in 1854, locating, first, at Madison, and then on a farm in the town of Reedsburg, where Catherine grew to womanhood. Upon their marriage Mr. and Mrs. HUEBING took up residence on a farm south of Reedsburg, where they resided until 1892, when they moved into the city. Mr. HUEBING died Nov. 12, 1915; his wife, Dec. 9, 1925.
Mrs. RIGGERT (Emma HUEBBING) grew to womanhood in the town of Reedsburg, where she received her education, and resided until her marriage. Her life has been spent entirely in this community.
Mr. and Mrs. HUEBING were the parents of two children: Elda, born Aug. 23, 1894; married, July 12, 1922, Dr. THOMPSON, Kalamazoo, Michigan; they have two children, David, born April 19, 1923, and Frederic, born June 1, 1928; and Edwin Riggert, born Aug 22, 1900; married, Oct. 7, 1926, Pearl HIRSIG; they reside at Lake Geneva, Wis.
