Clay Chapel Methodist Church...
Gallipolis — In 1832 Phillip and Catherine Cubbage, James and Mary Riggs, Samuel and Matilda Patterson, Henry and Mary Kinder and Mrs. Lucinda Welch were granted by the Legislature of Ohio a charter to organize what would become known as the Clay Chapel Methodist Church. The steps of the third Clay Chapel church can still be seen today in the Clay Chapel Cemetery located along State Route 7. The first Clay Chapel Church, built in 1833, was of brick.
According to one early member that first brick church "was a queer affair. It was 40 feet in length, 18 feet in width and 8 feet to the ceiling. A huge fireplace was erected in each end, but that in the west end being of pour draft, the opening was closed up soon and a huge box-shaped stove furnished heat for that end of the long room. The door was a double one, and was on the north side, while opposite to it was the pulpit. The walls were unplastered and unpapered. The roof was made of lap shingles."
The first church also served as a school and was located closer to the river than the last two buildings, both of which stood where the cemetery is located. The second Clay Chapel Church was built in 1856, it being frame and covered with joint pine shingles. The third building went up in 1864 and it was that structure that survived to the 1950's when Clay Chapel was closed.
The founders of this church which "saw" some 130 Easter mornings in its history were quite interesting people and some of their life episodes are recorded in a book by The Rev. H E Brill on "The History of Clay Chapel". Philip Cubbage was born in 1781 in Caroline County, Maryland. He settled at Marietta, Ohio in 1802 and in Gallia County in 1821. He was a doctor by profession. His wife (Catherine Jeffers) was born in 1799 in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The Cubbage home was established about at the mouth of Teen's Run.
James Riggs was born in Washington, D C in 1797 and came across the mountains with his parents on a single horse. James' mother rode in the saddle holding James sister. James was placed in one end of a large bag thrown across the horse's back. A little black girl named Sally was put in the other end of the bag to balance off James weight. The father walked, leading the horse. The Riggs family settled near Marietta. In 1820 James married Mary Bare and the two came to Gallia County in 1832.
Mrs. Riggs was probably the most knowledgeable of the early Clay Chapel settlers about the Bible and the workings of the Methodist Church. Born in Hagerstown, Maryland, Mary lived to be 86. On her death bed she expressed only one regret - that she had not done more good in the world.
"In her final hours", wrote Brill, "Wooing angels seemed hovering about her. At one time looking up she exclaimed "Oh, mamma' Why mamma'. Subdued voices about her bed were singing "Palms of Victory", when suddenly she extended her hands to the angelic throng and went out from among us."
Samuel Patterson, born in Pennsylvania, was the first class leader at Clay Chapel. Mrs Patterson was the daughter of Lucinda Welch as was Mary Kinder. The Kinders and Welches were from Eastern Virginia. Henry Kinder died in 1855 and is buried in the Cottrill Cemetery. Mrs. Kinder died in 1878 but because of high water during the week of her death she had to be buried in Gallipolis
Lucinda "Grandma" Welch lived about 2 miles up the Raccoon Creek, often coming church in a skiff. Once when Grandma Welch was with a young neighbor girl in a skiff, the thunder rolled, the lightning flashed, the wind roared and every moment it was feared that the rain would come in torrents "Be calm", said Grandma, "We shall pray for the rain to hold off until we get home." Just as their feet touched the porch floor the rains came. Such was the faith that these early pioneers breathed into churches like Clay Chapel.

A Golden Wedding
Today, March 28, '98, is the 50th anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Riggs, of Raccoon Island, two prominent citizens of this county. Mr. Riggs was aged 28 and Mrs. Riggs 26 when they were married. They were married on the Guthrie farm adjoining their own. Mrs. Riggs' maiden name was Elizabeth Guthrie. She was a daughter of the late Truman and Hannah Guthrie. Mr. Riggs was the son of James Riggs, all prominent people. They became the parents of eight children—Edward, Mary Rozella, Mrs. Lizzie Ingels, Ernest all living, and Laura, Jessie and James dead. When they went to housekeeping Mr. Guthrie gave the bride a kicking cow that was worthless and Mr. Riggs had a horse. This was their entire capital. They went in debt for a farm and by industry and good management secured enough of this world's goods for themselves and children. Mr. Riggs is now among the largest tax-payers in the county. They had thought about celebrating their golden wedding day, but their recent bereavement of their son caused them to give up the idea of it. While their life has not been void of cares and heartaches common to life, they have had much to enjoy and transmit to others. Both have generally had the best of health, which is a great blessing of itself. Their many friends will wish them many returns of their wedding anniversary and that their lives may run smoothly to the end of all things. Mr. Riggs received a fall from a haymow about eight feet to the ground, Sunday morning, and sustained some bruises to his head and shoulder, from which he is suffering, but it is not thought of as serious.

Obituary:

In Memory
Jacob Riggs was born in Monroe county, Ohio, January 22, 1824, and departed this life December 20, 1915, at the advanced age of 91 years, 10 months and 28 days.
He was married to Miss Elizabeth M. Guthrie, March 28, 1848. To them were born eight children, five of whom are living. Three children, James, Mrs. W. D. Graham and Mrs. George Gilman have preceded their father to the home beyond.
Mr. Riggs was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church at Clay Chapel when he was only a boy and retained his membership here until he became a member of the church triumphant. He was an industrious hard working man and by industry, frugality and honest and careful business methods was able not only to accumulate considerable property, but to occupy an enviable position in the community. The fact that he occupied such a position never led him to use it to gain a single advantage of any fellowman no matter how humble that man's place. His situation rather deepened his sense of responsibility and gave him the conviction that he was his brother's keeper, and no one who knew his life, doubts for a moment that his life was dominated largely by that conviction.
While the business side of his life was marked and prominent it was the religious side that made him the man that everybody knew and loved. He had great faith in God, a faith that was childlike in its simplicity. God and Heaven were realities to him. He lived in the constant companionship of the one and in the full expectation of the enjoyment of the other.
While his life was deeply religious it was intensely practical. He believed that religion is a thing for this --- and that it is for every day; that --- --- life is under its control. He heard his Master say: "In as much as ye did unto one of the least of these ye did it unto me." So no cry of need ever went unheeded. No one was ever turned hungry from his door. No one could complain of dishonest or unfair treatment at his hand.
The great rule laid down by the Christ for the regulation of or conduct toward one another, was the Golden Rule of his life. His deep interest in the church has been life long. Not only by his means and by his active participation in all church enterprises, but by the unconscious influence of a great and noble life has he presented the Christ of Calvary to needy men. No pastor has gone from Clay Chapel in more than half a century without good reason to thank God for Jacob Riggs.
For several years his health has been failing. For all this time he has moved about in his quiet way as though waiting for the end. It has finally come. A long life is ended. A life's work is done. A journey is finished and at Home, he can rest. After an acquaintance of more than ten years and after hearing expressions from the lips of many people from various walks of life, we believe we can truthfully say:"None knew him but to love him or named him but to praise."
He leaves to mourn their loss an aged and devoted wife, two sons, three daughters, seven grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and a circle of relatives and friends as large as his acquaintance. [Source: Gallipolis paper, December 20, 1915, Transcribed by Maxine Marshall]

Jacob Riggs Dead
One of Gallia's Oldest and Best Citizens Passes
Jacob Riggs, one of Gallia county's most prominent old citizens, passed away at his home near Raccoon Island at a little after the noon hour Monday, December 20, 1915. Mr. Riggs was born in Monroe county, O., January 22, 1824, the son of James and Mary Riggs, and came to this county when quite young. He was county commissioner for a number of years in Gallia county.

MR. AND MRS. JACOB RIGGS
A Former Pastor of Theirs Writes of Their Characters.
Writing to us from Albany, NY, the Rev. Joseph Clarke, who was pastor at Clay Chapel in 1889, says among other things of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Riggs.
To fully appreciate the characters of Jacob and Elizabeth Riggs, one must have touched them in their prime must have come into contact with them when they were active factors in the life of the community, before the "keepers of the house trembled," before the shoulders were bowed, before steps became wearied and slow, before physical vigor waned.
The real Jacob and Elizabeth Riggs were unknown to the present generation. Their years were extended into it, but to today's Gallia County citizenship Mr. and Mrs. Riggs were simply relics of "days long gone by" — mere shadows of what they once were in industry and community activity. Honored have been the young people of the past decade who have been privileged to touch this aged couple in their declining years (as one is honored to greet patriarchs as they pass out), but privileged indeed have been those who knew Jacob and Elizabeth Riggs at their physical, mental and spiritual best, when they moved simply and unostentatiously among neighbors with strength and with a benign influence of which they seemed wholly unconscious.
I remember an occasion when Mr. Riggs walked three miles through the mud over the hills to examine some hogs a certain farmer was anxious to sell. The market was down and the purchase price was necessarily low. Taxes were due and the man needed the money Mr. Riggs knew that if the farmer could hold the hogs for a month he could sell them at a much higher rate. Did Mr. Riggs buy them? No! He voluntarily loaned the farmer enough cash to pay the pressing taxes, and in a month bought the hogs, paying for them the higher market price. In other words he walked six miles, lost a half a day, and loaned a distressed neighbor $200 tax money, without interest, in order to help him out of a hole, and make it possible to tide over a season of depressed prices until the hog market was better. The huge thing about the transaction was this, Mr. Riggs was glad to do it, for he lived by the Golden Rule.
Mrs. Riggs was a real missionary to the needy. Hundreds of people will recall her deeds of mercy. The poor and the sick and the unfortunate always found in her a friend. And her bounty and ministry were done so quietly that even her left hand knew not what her right hand had done. Such people cannot live 75 years in a community without uplifting.
