Some of the blog readers may remember Milton working for many years as manager of a shoe store on the west side of the main street in Wray. He was known to us usually as "Wacker", as Mark pointed out.
You may also remember Eva as working for many years at a general store in Benkelman. I think she worked at Irelands, and if there was a J.C. Penney before that - she would have worked there. The store was on the west side of Chief Street.
Digging through my picture collection, I have come upon a picture I took in Roswell, NM on 1 FEB 1953 of Merle and Inez Higgins. From left to right are:
Carl Hoffman, Lyda Herring, Dorothy Herring, Haskins, McKay, Inez Herring Higgins (Merle's wife), Hugh McKay, Merle Higgins, and Ruth Herring Hoffman.
Lyda Herring was the mother of the various Herring girls mentioned in the blog. While she lived in Cheyenne County, Kansas, and then for many years in Benkelman, she lived with Hugh and Dorothy McKay in Haigler during her last years and may also be remembered by some of the readers.
Once again, a picture from a distant location brings together those with former Haigler connections.
