History of the city of Spokane and Spokane County, Washington:
from its earliest settlement to the present
time - By Nelson Wayne Durham - Published by S.J. Clarke Pub. Co.,
1912
JOHN WILLIAM HIGGINS
John W. Higgins, of the Higgins-Brooks Company, was born in
Portland, Oregon, July 14, 1859, a son of William L. and
Mary Elizabeth (Scott) Higgins. The father, whose birth occurred
in Rhode Island, came to Oregon in 1832, via Cape Horn and was one
of the early settlers in Portland. At the time he left home he ran
away with his brother Louis, who however, remained on land when
William L. boarded the ship for his western trip. They never saw or
heard from each other since. Mr. W. L. Higgins was a carpenter and
builder and assisted in erecting the Portland post office. He was
always prominent in politics. His death occurred in 1907. The
mother, who was of Scotch descent, crossed the plains to Oregon
about 1849. Her birth occurred in Kentucky from which state her
family removed westward, first going to Missouri. Her death occurred
in 1905. To their union six children were born: Frank D. and
James A., both of whom are residing in Portland; John W.,
who is the subject of this review; Alice S. and Mrs. Harry
Hall, residents of Portland; and Mrs. William B. Addy, of
Waterloo, Iowa.
John W. Higgins was reared under the parental roof and
pursued his education in the public schools and high schools of
Portland. Upon putting aside his text-books he accepted a position
with Knapp-Burrell & Company, dealers in farm machinery and
implements. After remaining in their employ in Portland for four
years he entered their office at Colfax where he remained six years,
at the end of which time he became assistant cashier of the Second
National Bank of Colfax and was thus engaged for eleven years. Mr.
Higgins has been a resident of this city since 1901. As soon as he
took up his residence here he engaged in the mining business, and
during his ten years' connection with this enterprise has promoted
many properties. He is interested in the Alaska copper property and
south Idaho gold property. At present he is secretary of the Idaho
Richmond Gold Mines Company, the Bonanza Silver, & Lead Mining
Company, and the Nez Perce Orogrande of Orogrande,
Idaho. All these properties are under development, and are becoming
highly profitable enterprises. His ability in developing tlrese
mining properties, to which he gives his entire time and attention,
is fast winning him success and recognition as one of the foremost
promoters of the northwest.
Politically Mr. Higgins gives his support to the republican party,
and is thoroughly alive to the issues of the day but has never
sought office as a reward for party fealty. Depending upon his own
resources from an early age he has lived a life of industry, and
whatever has been his success is the result of his well directed
diligence and labor.

-(Apr/13/2008) The Spokesman-Review-
Beloved brother, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather passed
away on April 11, 2008. He was born in Easton, KS but as a young man
moved to Iowa where he met the love of his life, Lucy. They were
married in 1936 and enjoyed 64 years of marriage until her death in
2000. Together they raised eight children. They relocated to
Spokane, WA in 1968 where he continued his work as a carpenter and
master builder. He was a man of strong character, highly respected
and will be missed by all who knew him. Leo's proudest
accomplishment was his family. He is survived by his children and
spouses: Jim and Carol Higgins, Jerry and Santos Higgins, Bernadette
and Bob Stanbrough, Kathy and Larry Dilley, Geralyn and Gary
Garberg, Rose Higgins and Al Dernbach, Jacque and Joe Tjards,
Marilyn and Bill Moser; 24 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren.
He is also survived by one brother, two sisters and numerous nieces
and nephews. Leo was preceded in death by his
wife, Lucy, his parents, two brothers and one sister. In addition to
his family, Leo loved gardening, attending church and telling
stories. He was a member of the Assumption Retired Mens Group,
Knights of Columbus, and a past member of the Home Builders
Association. Vigil service will be held at 7:00 p.m., Wednesday,
April 16, 2008 at Assumption Parish Catholic Church, 3624 W. Indian
Trail Road, Spokane, WA. Funeral Mass will be held at 10:00 a.m., on

BIOGRAPHY
Vincent Lafayette Higgins, b. 1851, was a farmer in the Union Flat region of Whitman County, Washington,
about 5 or 6 miles southwest of the city of Pullman. His diaries document daily life and work on a
diversified agriculture farm that had wheat growing as its principal activity.
Higgins was born at Burnsvile, North Carolina. In about 1870, he began a series of moves, to Missouri,
Arkansas, California, Oregon, and finally, in 1884 to Pullman, Washington Territory. A biographic sketch of
Higgins is included in the papers of James E. Lindsey, at the Washington State University Libraries.
...
The diaries of V. L. Higgins, farmer from Pullman, Washington, were donated to the Washington State
University Libraries in 1995 by Suzanne Rucker of Titusville, Florida (MS95-13). The Libraries had
previously acquired related items
