Mabel Riggs Morgan
I have an old studio photograph of Mabel RIGGS which was taken at the Heath Studio in Grand Rapids, MI. In addition to her name someone has indicated that she was a member of the "Class of 1898". Research notes have also been included on the back of the photograph including her birth and death info, info regarding the studio, and her spouse's name. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Mabel and her family:

Mabel Gertrude RIGGS was b. 18 Oct 1879 in Gaines Township, Kent Co., MI to parents Orville A. RIGGS (1835-1930) and Helen M. SMITH (1837-1902) who were married abt 1860. Mabel was one of four children born to this couple including Cora Marie; Leo James; Lea; and Mabel Gertrude RIGGS, all born between 1863 and 1879. Mabel married Charles Doyle MORGAN (1882-1962) on 7 May 1908 in Grand Rapids, MI and they had two children including Charles Orville MORGAN (1911-2009) and Helen Elizabeth MORGAN (1915-2009). Mabel died 28 Mar 1953 in Grand Rapids, MI.

I’d like to get the photograph to her family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.

Thanks,
Shelley
Date & Place: at Heath Studio in Grand Rapids, Kent County, Michigan United States
