After living at 138 Monroe Street where their first child, Harold Arthur was born in 1934, Art and Mildred (Roggerman) Heiden moved to 247 Rawson Street. It is about 1/2 mile west of the downtown area and just north of Tecumseh Street (M-50).

This, of course, shows the house probably 50 or 60 years after they inhabited it. I suspect the original house was just the small part with the front door. The side and back additions  probably came later.

According to the 1930 U.S. Census Mildred's aunt and uncle, Veyril and Dewey Wittkop were living at this house so it would appear that Art, Mildred and Harold lived with them for a while during this time.

We do not know how long they lived here but their second child, Joyce, was born at 134 Ida Maybee Road in 1938.

I talked to Mom (Mildred Heiden) and she said they lived on Monroe Street where Corliss' parents lived and that is where Harold was born.
