1949 NSN Alumni Banquet (1900-48)

Dalton Wallace Riggs, Class of 1902, was the eldest of six brothers who grew to adulthood. The youngest was Sam Riggs, who owned the Sam Riggs Supply Co. in Alva for so many years. My grandfather Bertsell Riggs was their brother; he died in a county construction accident in 1923 when my mother was only 11 months old. "Uncle Dalt" was the president of his class and knew James Ament, NTN's first president, personally. He returned to Northwestern in 1952 for the 50th reunion of the class. The Riggs family came to Woods county in the Run of 1893 - and several of each generation have attended Northwestern (Uncle Dalt was the first!).
