The 1950 U.S. Census
listed the Walter (46) and Edith (32) Heiden
family living at this address. Their children
Gerald (14), Wayne (10), Patricia (5) and Daniel
(3) were included as was Walter's brother, Elmer
(41). Walter was shown as a "Flour Packer" for
the
Teddy Girl Flour company.
The
family must have moved to
650 Alford Road
shortly after this census because the kids got
on the school bus that I was riding every
morning during the early 1950s. My family lived
on the Laskey Farm at
12444 Dixon Road
just east of where Alford Road intersected with
it.
