Death of Miss Rigby Mourned at College
Miss Jessie Rigby, a long time Cornell library staff member since 1906, died last Tuesday after a period of illness. Her life was tied to Cornell traditions through her grandfather Rev Samuel Fellows, the college's first president, and her father Rev Joshua Rigby, from a family with many Cornell students. She spent her early years in Iowa towns as her father served Methodist charges.
