Does anyone remember the rotten water they used to have in town? After they got the new well north of town things were better.
My brother Gilbert Smith used to work at the locker plant at the end of Main Street.
When I was a kid there was alot to do when you came to town on Saturday night. I remember they used to have movies there on Saturday night in one of those buildings on Main Street
Does anyone remember the dance they held at the school building across the Kansas line when the Douglas boys, Lloyd and Lawrence used to play. Lawrence Douglas married my sister Berniece.
The water tower on top of the hill used to be quite a meeting place for us kids. I used to think that was a big hill? haha
I check this site out every day and sure enjoy hearing the stories from everyone.
I now live in Waterloo Iowa where we have such good sweet corn and tomatoes.
I like to see the weather report each day for Haigler!Looks like you are colder there than here, cool for this time of year. Lloyd Smith

Yes, the water! I suppose the people who lived in town, had to drink it, and maybe got used to it, but unless I was REALLY thirsty, I didn't.
ReplyDeleteWow, you brought up several subjects that could bring in alot of stories... The Locker Plant... Saturday Night (Now that should ring a bell with ALL of us!)... The Dance.. Lots of dances... The picture shows... The Water Tower... We should have the stories poring in this week!!
I also remember the water in town was pretty bad when I was a kid. My Uncle Willie Wall would say that's why he's still alive today is because of all the minerals in the water back then. I used to go with my Grandpa to a spring he knew of and fill several buckets and jugs with this great tasting spring water and bring it back to the house. He would take off the water faucet at the kitchen sink and pour the water down the well or something like that. I really didn't know for sure what he did but when he was done the water was good and clean. When we were in town we drank alot of pop. Larry
