Ralph Heiden - Did Grandma and Grandpa (William C. and Mary) do much with their brothers and sisters?

Helma (Heiden) Nickel - Uncle John and Aunt Agnes and them did a lot together. Agnes was a big help to Ma. They would do a lot of sewing together.

Wilma (Heiden) Bicking - They would cut down coats the older ones so they would fit the younger ones in the family.

Helma (Heiden) Nickel - Uncle John Kosters would come down a lot too. They would go to church and then come over to the house for dinner.

Ralph Heiden - Did they speak German to each other?

Wilma (Heiden) Bicking - Sometimes when they were saying something they did not want the kids to hear! Then they would laugh loudly, “Ha, ha, ha!.” We always wondered what they had said.

Helma (Heiden) Nickel - They did not go back and forth too much with Uncle Ernest and Aunt Annie. I don’t remember Uncle Ernest’s family coming to church very often either.

Mildred (Roggerman) Heiden - Someone who would remember would be Marv Koster (right). He remembers a lot and you need to get together with him, Ralph.

Helma (Heiden) Nickel - Lena (Koster) was the only girl in Pa’s family.
