Cornelius H. Wigg. one of Palatka's best known citizens, died suddenly and unexpectedly Sunday afternoon at his home on North Seventh street. Though he had been in failing health for the past several weeks and had never fully recovered from injuries received in an automobile accident, the end of life was not thought to be so near at hand. He was on the porch talking with P. M. Hagen, when stricken by death.
Mr. Wigg was a native of South Carolina, having been born in Columbia sixty-four years ago. He came here with his parents as a youth, and this had ever since been his home. For many years he was chief of the local volunteer fire department, and was also quartermaster in the old Gem City Guards, then the brag military organization of the State. He was ever active in fraternal circles, having been past sachem of the local tribe of Red Men and a member of the Moose. He was a member of the Episcopal Church, being a vestryman in the St. Mark's parish.
Surviving are the widow, two daughters, Mrs. Ellen Hoprich, of this city, and Mrs. Earl Hutchins, of Lake Worth, and one son William Hutson, of this city. Two sisters, Mrs. J. H. Henry and Mrs. J. E. Henry, both of Savannah, Ga., and three brothers, W. H. Wigg of Palatka, and Tom and St. Johns Wigg, both of Jacksonville, also survive.
The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from St. Mark's Episcopal Church; Rev. Francis Wakefield, the rector, officiating.
The following representatives of the Moose and the Red Men acted as pallbearers: Messrs. J. M. Pounds, E. E. Dodge, N. A. Stumps, C. Carman, Ira Baird and Dr. George Davis.
The interment was in Oak Hill East Cemetery. (Times-Herald, Friday, 11 Feb 1927.)
