Butch and Maggie Miller and their two sons, Alton and Gary lived
in this house from the 1950s through the 1990s. In her later
years, Maggie had to use a wheelchair and you can see the ramp
coming from the front porch.
Maggie
was my father,
Art Heiden's cousin and they were close
throughout their lives. Butch and Maggie were fun people and, as
a teenager, I would sometimes drop my parents off at their place
so they could have an evening of cards and laughter...and a few
beers. I would go on a date or meet some friends for a while
before going back to pick up my parents around 11:00 or 11:30.
The house was on a dark, lonely, unpaved road typical of the
rural area in those days.
