Wednesday, August 8, 2007, was a significant day for Haigler. Actually, the day before was a big event at the site of 67 South when the movers arrived and began the preparations for loading the building on the trailer.
By Wednesday morning the school building, complete with the United States flag displayed, had been loaded on the trailer and moved as far as the entrance onto the highway. Because of the muddy road from the rains of the previous 2 nights a tractor was needed to help it over the hill just before the intersection to the highway. Over a dozen people, former students, children of former teachers and others interested emotionally and curiously in the project had gathered around the intersection to escort or follow the procession into town, which began around 8:30.
Two Southwest Public Power employees preceded the procession to lift the power lines in several places. Others had gathered at the prepared site to observe the building being unloaded from the trailer and set down on the foundation. Backing the building between two large trees onto the lot was skillfully executed. Congratulations are due to the movers and all the helpers for a job well done.
By shortly after noon the movers were on their way back to Hastings to prepare for a big moving job the next day. But for the Carlocks the project has barely begun. New roofing is the next step. It will take months – possibly even years to restore the inside and outside as much as possible like the original.
