"MR. H. C. TRIGG DIES.
"Veteran Banker and Fianncier Passes Away In Florida
"LEADING AND WEALTHIEST CITIZEN.
"A telegram received here Monday morning brought the intelligence
that Mr. H. C. Trigg had died Sunday night at nine o'clock in Kissimmee
City, Florida, where he had gone, as has been his custom for several
years, to spend the winter. None of the particulars were given, nor are
known, but he had long been in delicate health, both with lung and heart
trouble, and, by reason of his advanced age, his death was not a
surprise. He was in his seventy-ninth year when cut down by the grim
reaper to whom all humanity is a harvest field.
"For a half century, Mr. Haiden Curd Trigg had been a leading, if
not the leading, business citizen of Glasgow. Born and reared here, in
his earlier life he embarked in the wholesale hardware business in
Louisville, but, after a few years, he returned to the town of his
birth, organized the Trigg banking house, and has been prominent in
business circles - as he was in social circles - ever since. He amassed
the largest fortune ever accumulated in Barren county - estimates of his
estate running all he way from $200,000 to half a million dollars. Mr.
Trigg came from an old, prominent and distinguished Virginia stock, and
the Triggs have always stood among the first of the pioneer families of
this section. He was a fine citizen, a man who loved and was beloved, in
his family circle, as a husband and father, and his position in the
community will be long unfilled.
"Mr. Trigg is survived by his widow and ten children - the latter
being: Messrs. A. L., R. B., and Paul D. Trigg, Mrs. J. W. Kruger and
Mrs. T. P. Dickinson, of this place; Mr. Herbert Trigg of Los Angeles,
Cala.; Mrs. J. W. Vreeland, of Louisville; Mrs. Morgan Shuster, of New
York; Mrs. C. U. McElroy, of Bowling Green, and Dr. Louis Trigg, of
Hopkinsville.
"The remains willb e brought at once to Glasgow, but the date of
funeral and interment can not be given until all the absent family are
heard from."
