In February, 1893 he and his brother established a store at Loganville under the name of John Riggert and Co. After four years John Riggert became the sole owner but the original name remained until Mr. Riggert sold out to O.O. Tuhus and Co. in the fall of 1922. In 1907 Mr. Riggert started the Loganville Telephone exchange which he sold in 1917.

  • JOHN RIGGERT, merchant, banker and public spirited citizen, has been accumulating interests and responsibilities that make him an important citizen ever since coming to Sauk County over thirty years ago. The center of these interests have been at Loganville. Mr. Riggert was born in Germany December 13, 1868, son of Henry and Catherine (Marquard) Riggert. His father was born August 5, 1826, and his mother June 15, 1828. They were married in Germany and they reared in that country a family of eight children, noted as follows: William, born March 13, 1852; Herman, born March 29, 1854; George, born May 20, 1856; Adolph, born February 1, 1858; Otto, born April 8, 1860; Ernest, born.November 26, 1861; May, born April 20, 1864; and John, born December 13, 1868.
    Mr. John Riggert acquired most of his education while a boy in Germany. In 1883, when he was fifteen years of age, he left the Fatherland, crossed the ocean and came to Sauk County, Wisconsin, where he joined some of his older brothers. For one year he attended school at Loganville and acquired a familiarity with the English language. He then entered the store of his brother William as a clerk at Reedsburg, and remained steadily in his employ for nine years. During this time he had familiarized himself with business, gained the confidence of people and was well prepared for embarking in business for himself. In February 1893, he and his brother William established a store at Loganville, and it was started under the name John Riggert & Company, a title which remains to the present time, though after four years, in 1897, Mr. John Riggert bought the entire establishment. For nine years the store was in the old Trexler Building, but in 1902 Mr. Riggert erected a store building of his own, 32 by 80 feet, two stories, and thoroughly stocked with merchandise of every description suited to the trade of that locality.
    From handling this business Mr. Riggert's interests have gradually been spread to other affairs. In 1907 he started the Loganville Telephone Exchange, continued the management of the business until it had gained 275 subscribers and in 1917 sold out to W. H. Wheeler. In 1915 Mr. Riggert organized the Loganville State Bank, an institution that furnishes adequate banking facilities to that section of Sauk County. William Riggert is president, Charles King is vice president, while Mr. John Riggert gives his personal superintendence to the bank as cashier, the assistant cashier being Conrad C. Wiesler. Mr. Riggert in politics is a republican and for the past fifteen years has consecutively held the office of township treasurer of Westfield Township. He and his family are active members of the Lutheran Church. On March 3, 1897, he married Miss Elizabeth Schuette. She was born in Westfield Township of this county March 30, 1875. Mr. and Mrs. Riggert had two children, Lavita, who died at the age of two years; and Valera, born August 5, 1906. Mrs. Riggert is a daughter of John William and Dorothy (Reinecke) Schuette. Her grandfather, John Schuette, brought his family from Germany and settled on a farm in Westfield Township in pioneer times, in 1863. He and his good wife lived out the rest of their industrious lives in this community. Their children were Catherine, deceased, Elizabeth and John William. John William Schuette was born in Germany March 31, 1849, and was fourteen years of age when brought to Sauk County. He had attended the common schools in Germany and for a short time was a student in Westfield Township. On reaching manhood he bought sixty-three acres of land where his son Henry J. now lives. His success as a farmer enabled him to increase his holdings by the purchase of 160 acres adjoining, and most. of this was cleared up while he occupied it and some good substantial buildings erected. In 1905 he retired from the farm and he and his wife have since lived at Loganville. He is a democrat and for a number of years was side supervisor, and for four years assessor of the township. He and his wife are active Lutherans. October 24, 1869, John William Schuette married Miss Dorothy Reinecke, who was born in Germany in 1848, daughter of William and Margaret Reineeke. She was twenty years of age when in 1868 her parents located in Sauk County and found a home on a farm in Westfield Township. John William Sehuette and wife have six children: Amelia, wife of Edward Luhrsen, of Reedsburg; Henry J., owner of the old homestead, married Augusta Bargwart, of Jefferson County, and their three children are Arold, Harold and
    Arciena; Elizabeth, wife of John Riggert; William, of Phoenix, Arizona,
    who married Tina Kry and has children named Helen and William; Annie, who died in 1916, was wife of Henry Steckelberg and was the
    mother of four children, Elva, Herbert, Arnold and Evelyn; Albert, a
    resident of Columbus, Wisconsin, is married but has no children.

So a sketch of the life and achievements of the parties whose honored name heads this biography may stand as a memorial to them in the years to come. Mr. William RIGGERT, deceased, was one of the most prominent figures of his time in Reedsburg, and his widow is still active in community life.
    Mr. RIGGERT was born March 18, 1852, at Stadolf, Province of Hanover, Germany, where his early life was spent. At the age of twenty-one, in 1877, married Miss Louise LICHT; they had two son, Hugo and Bruno, the latter deceased. Mrs. RIGGERT died in 1890. During the first two years of his life in Reedsburg he lived with and worked for the late William STOLTE, Sr. He then went to Waukesha, Minn., where he remained five years, working in the mercantile business. Upon his return to Reedsburg, he engaged in that line, and so continued until 1894, when, disposing of his business, he entered the Citizen's Bank. Always a shrewd businessman, he was an able banker, and served the Citizens Bank for many years as cashier and later as president. He was instrumental in founding the State Bank of Loganville, of which institution he was also president. An energetic businessman, he early in his life won recognition for his ability, and for twenty-seven years served as a member of the board of trustees of the Sauk County Poor Farm, was a member of the library board from the time of its organization until a few months of his death over a period of twenty-two years. He was a member of the first city council elected under the city form of government. His death occurred at his home at 547 South Park Street, Reedsburg, Wis., Monday evening, Oct. 3, 1923, at the age of sixty-nine years.
    On Dec. 15, 1891, Mr. RIGGERT was united in marriage to Miss Emma HUEBING, who survives him. This lady was born Aug. 19, 1867, in the town of Reedsburg, daughter of William and Catherine (KIPP) HUEBING. Her father was born June 20, 1843, a native of Hanover Province, Germany, a son of Hans Jurgan and Catherine HUEBING. In 1862 William HUEBING came to America, settling on a farm in the town of Reedsburg, where he spent his active years. On March 28, 1864, he married Catherine Dorothea KIPP. She was born in Barum, Germany, Dec. 16, 1845, her parents being Henry and Catherine (BAMEL) KIPP. The KIPP family came to America in 1854, locating, first, at Madison, and then on a farm in the town of Reedsburg, where Catherine grew to womanhood. Upon their marriage Mr. and Mrs. HUEBING took up residence on a farm south of Reedsburg, where they resided until 1892, when they moved into the city. Mr. HUEBING died Nov. 12, 1915; his wife, Dec. 9, 1925.
    Mrs. RIGGERT (Emma HUEBBING) grew to womanhood in the town of Reedsburg, where she received her education, and resided until her marriage. Her life has been spent entirely in this community.
    Mr. and Mrs. HUEBING were the parents of two children: Elda, born Aug. 23, 1894; married, July 12, 1922, Dr. THOMPSON, Kalamazoo, Michigan; they have two children, David, born April 19, 1923, and Frederic, born June 1, 1928; and Edwin Riggert, born Aug 22, 1900; married, Oct. 7, 1926, Pearl HIRSIG; they reside at Lake Geneva, Wis.
