This is a wonderful story, shared by LaNeta Carlock!
Diana Ham, formerly of Benkelman and now of Wauneta wrote a letter to LaNeta
Carlock in late July. She and her family were vacationing in Colorado, close to
Granby, CO. They stopped in a small antique shop in Kremmling, CO - and what
she saw in the shop was amazing. There was a very old Red Wing bowl with the
inscription inside "Robert Orr, General Merchandise, Haigler, NE." Naturally
she thought of the Haigler Cornerstone Museum and preserving historical
artifacts-so she contacted the Carlocks in Haigler. LaNeta then contacted the
antique store owner. Long story, short--the antique bowl now resides in the
Haigler Cornerstone Museum. Research indicates these bowls were made as store
giveaways from 1920-1930. It is called a panel spongeware bowl, made by Red
Wing pottery. She had purchased it at an estate auction in Colorado Springs,
CO. Amazing, isn't it? We hope all readers of this story will watch for other
Haigler artifacts that belong in the museum for future generations to
enjoy.
Roma and Jerry Rehkow from Denver, CO spent Thursday
afternoon visiting Haigler, and in the home of Stan and LaNeta Carlock. Roma's
mother was Helen Roach and grandparents were Charles and Lottie Roach--who owned
the home that LaNeta & Stan now live in. It had been 2 years since the
Rehkow's last visit to Haigler so they were excited to see the completion of the
Country Schoolhouse Museum (where Roma's mother had taught) and also the
beginnings of the Haigler Cornerstone Museum. They plan to gather more things
from "the Roach family" to donate to the Haigler museum.
On Sunday, August the 21st, Jerry and Mary Bier from St.
Francis, KS, picked up Deloris Zuege and they traveled to Loveland, CO to attend
a Bier reunion picnic in the Loveland park. They returned home in the
afternoon. The picnic tradition began in the 50's and has continued every third
Sunday in August ever since.
Garry and Sharon Fisher came to Haigler last Thursday morning, the 22nd,to
Floy Fishers' with their John Deere riding mower and other yard tools. Garry
tore out an old fence in the front yard and trimmed some trees while Sharon
mowed. Sharon and Floy made a quick trip to St Francis to do a little
shopping. Garry and Sharon returned home in the afternoon. The work they did
made a big improvement in the appearance of the yard.
On Monday, the 29th, Garry Fisher came down and brought some wonderful
melons and other garden produce from his garden as well as some that others had
shared with him and Sharon.
