I moved away from Hiawatha when I was almost 5 years old....was the worst day of my life! I thought my parents had to be completely crazy to think I could live without my best friend, my cousin, Juanita. I couldn't believe they were going to move me a million miles away to Wyoming. I remember crying as we we looked out the back window waving goodbye to our little town! I can't remember a lot about Hiawatha but the memories I do have are only good ones. I remember Dr Merrill and his nurse...I think her name was Sophie. I thought she was beautiful!Hiawatha was always home to my dad (Glenn Thomas)...I always said you could take him out of his town but you could never take Hiawatha out of his heart. He talked about it right up until his death. We lived those wonderful memories right along with him as he told us tales. I think most people that lived in Hiawatha have the same wonderful memories...even though I didn't experience a lot of them, they are in my heart too!

I am Gail and David Wilde's daughter. I lived in Hiawatha for 18 years. Growing up there was a lot of fun. I remember Mom sending me to the gas station every night to get Dad. He loved to sit down there, drink, and visit with everyone. My grandpa is Orville (Preacher) Lowe. When he worked in dispatch we would go visit him and he would give us those huge pieces of chalk they used in the mine.At the time, I didn't really appreciate the good thing I had, such as the mountains and the freedom of a small town. Now I wish I could raise my own children there.

By Elaine Hampshire JonesI have so many memories of Hiawatha I am sure I could fill the pages of War & Peace. One of my favorites was all the kids sleigh riding down the hill and across the school grounds. I wanted to take my small sleigh because I didn'nt want anyone else to ride with me. My Dad told me the slegh runners were rusty and to take the big sleigh. Of course I took the little one which caught in the ice sending me nose first into the school grounds. I have the scar to prove it. What a wonderful town to grow up in!
