Around 1940, Arthur and Mildred (Roggerman) Heiden lived "at the Butler farm." They had their children, Harold (1934-2023) and Joyce with them and a son, Ronald (right) was born in 1942 while they lived in one of the houses just to the east of where Dixon Road and South Custer merge. It was somewhere across the road from the King School shown on the map below.

A few years later, they went back to 134 Ida Maybee Road for a short while before moving on to a house at 9450 Dixon Road known as the C.J. Rath farm.

At this time, we do not know the exact house number for this location. If you know, please send an EMAIL.

Ma and Dad moved to the "Butlers" in a place that had been a store at one time on the Butler's property. There was a picture of Harold and me when I was a baby in a buggy at that location with Nancy Butler in the picture so we must have moved there shortly after I was born.

Then, they moved to South Custer Road where Ronnie was born. It had an upstairs as I remember standing by the stairs when dad told me I had a baby brother. I was 4 years and 3 months old at the time.

Ron says that his parents lived in a small house at the Butlers and then he was born in a bigger house on the same property.

According to the 1930 U.S. Census, Nancy Butler was living with her parents at 5410 South Custer Road a short distance east of the point where Dixon Road and South Custer Road joined prior to the current configuration which was built when South Custer was widened in the 1950s.
