09 Dec 2005 Biographical Review:

George H Higgins, an enterprising and enterprising agriculturist and a prominent citizen of Clementon ,in Gloucester Township, Camden County, N. J., was born in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, August 31,1850.His parents were George G and Elizabeth (Workman) Higgins ,the father a native of Scotland. His paternal grandfather, Gibson Higgins, was a lifelong resident of Scotland, where he was engaged in general husbandry. George G. Higgins came to America at the early age of thirteen years, He had prosecuted a course of study at Edinburgh University, and had become the master of six different languages; and after his emigration to this continent he followed the honored vocation of school-teaching in Camden County, New Jersey,though he made his home in the city of Philadelphia. After spending several years in that calling, on the outbreak of the civil war he enlisted for service in behalf of his adopted land ,enrolling in Company I of the Twenty-ninth Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers. He served for four years, and then, being seriously wounded, he was discharged; but he reenlisted in the Hancock Volunteer Reserves, and in this body officiated at Trenton as a recruiting officer until the termination of the war.
He subsequently, until the end of his earthy years, made his home with his son, the subject of this memoir,at Clementon ,New Jersey. Mr, George G, Higgins was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth Workman, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Workman, the former of whom was engaged in general agriculture in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Of the children, six in number, whom she bore to Mr. Higgins, five still  survive, namely, John; Elmira, who married William Philson of Philadelphia; Alice, who became the wife of Harry Phomosa, of Philadelphia; George H, and Clinton, Joseph is deceased. Mr. and Mrs. George G. Higgins were members of the Presbyterian Church. He departed this life at the house of his son in his sixty-sixth year, his wife surviving him many years, dying at the venerable age of eighty-four. George H. Higgins spent his early years at the home on the paternal estate, and when eleven years old he found employment on the farm of Josiah Jenkins at Somerdale, with whom he remained eight years. In his twentieth year he went to work for J.P. Kirkbride, in whose mill and on whose farm he was employed three years. After engaging a year with ex-sheriff Gibbs he purchased in 1876 his present estate, at that time embracing fifty-five acres, of which he has disposed of twenty-five acres. Besides that property he has a farm of forty-five acres ay Gibbsboro and still another of two hundred and fifty acres in Burlington County. His home farm, the residence on which he has remodeled, he devotes to general agriculture, to the cultivation of various garden vegetables and to some measure to dairying. For ten years he, in connection with his regular pursuits, was the proprietor and manager of an extensive business in coal and wood. the former commodity he purchased by the carload and sold by the ton; and the latter he cut on his own land fifteen hundred cords per year. In 1869 Mr. Higgins was joined in wedlock with Miss Sarah A. Watson, a native of Clementon, and one the eight children of Isaac Watson, the possessor of an extensive farm in the town. Mr. Watson is a representatives of one of the oldest families in Clementon, his father having formerly owned the entire tract of country now embraced in that village. Mr. and Mrs. Higgins have four children- Isaac W.; George R.; Louis G.; and Helen C.. Mr. Higgins has rendered efficient service in several positions of public trust. For two years, during 1887 and 1888, he was a member of the board of Freeholders; for four years,1883 to 1886 inclusive, he constituted on of township committee; from 1879 to 1883 ,he officiated
as Supervisor of the Roads; and for a period of eleven years he was a member of the Executive County Committee of Camden County ,in connection with which he devoted very much of his time and thought to the public welfare. He has also represented his town and district in the New Jersey legislature for two terms,1887 and 1888.In 1895, Mr. was instrumental in having the board of Freeholders pass a motion to build a stone road from Kirkwood to Berlin.T he road, which is five miles long, and is composed of solid trap rock, and was constructed at an expense of twenty five thousand dollars and required eight months labor. It is the finest piece of road in the state, and it is the object of universal admiration. Mr. Higgins had the honor and now has the praise in acting as superintendent of its construction. In the fraternity life of the community Mr. Higgins is favorably and widely known,as in the civic and industrial. he is associated with the Odd Fellows and with the Blackwood Independent Lodge No. 64. He is likewise affiliated with the Rancocas Tribe of the Independent Order of the Redmen at Clementon and the United Order of American Mechanics at Lindenwold. Politically, his beliefs bring him into fellowship of the Republican Party. In religious faith and sympathy both Mr. Higgins and his wife are connected with the Blackwood Presbyterian Church. Mr. Higgins is in a large sense a self made man, what he has and is being chiefly due to his qualities of enterprise, industry, and progressiveness.
