Bio
T. Doak Pigg was born on December 5, 1856, and died on December 30, 1912. He obeyed the gospel on August 15, 1906. It would be hard to estimate the moral and spiritual worth of Doak Pigg in the community in which he spent his whole life. I have known him intimately for twenty-five years and have had dealings with him in various ways. He was honest, not for policy's sake, but for truths sake. I have never known a better man, and have known but few I thought his equal. He believed in doing everything to perfection. You could see this on his farm. He had more order about his farm than any man I ever saw. He was married to Miss Etta Tally on December 20, 1882. They have reared a large family of children. They are the most orderly children I have ever known, to be so many of them. I have been in their home enough to know. Not many people that obey the gospel late in life develop much spirituality; but Brother Pigg was an exception in this respect. He would not take any public work (because of his timidity), but in anything else you could always count on Doak Pigg. Our little band at Friendship feels keenly this loss. A good neighbor, a loving husband, a devoted father, and a true Christian has gone to his reward. Blessed be the memory of such a man. B. F. Hart. Gospel Advocate, June 26, 1913, page 620.
