Ralph Heiden - Did Grandma and Grandpa (William Carl and Mary) do much with their
brothers and sisters?
 Helma (Heiden) Nickel -
Uncle John and Aunt Agnes
(left) 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
from the older ones so they would fit
the younger ones in the family.
Helma (Heiden) Nickel -
Uncle John Kosters
(right) 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
(left). 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.
Wilma (Heiden) Bicking - Talking about the cherry soup. Whenever I mention that to
someone, they act like I have rocks in my head but it was very good.
