Notes:

[R14.5.4.1]

married in Sabine Par LA
buried in McCaskill cemetery, Natchitoches Par LA

Apparently he and Azalete divorced.
Genforum message 138 says that Azalee Rigsby married 1881-07-22 William H Davidson.

A biography of the John Rigsby who lived in Ouachita Par LA says he was a native of Wilson Co PA.
However, there wasn't a Wilson Co in PA. There was one in TN, adjacent to Smith Co where this John
was born.

--
I'm pretty sure he served in the Civil War (Union), 80th IL infantry Co E.
He enlisted 1862-08-05, if I have the right John W.
