Subject: Have you seen?
My cousin got a photo copy of a history of Hiawatha with plans of the different size cottages the mine built for the miners. Has no date but when I went their about 42 years ago the drawings look like the homes that were there. If I ever find the pictures of that trip I will let you know. My mother Winona Beth Wardell was born in Hiawatha May 10, 1923 and is now 87. She was 3 when her family moved to California. My Great grandmother Lottie (Charlottie Rosettie Borreson Olsen ran the boarding house in the EARLY 1900's. Oh, the person who wrote the history of Hiawtha with the home plans are: Matt Warner, Harold Elliott and/or Dustin CarlsonDiana Tallmon

Mrs. Burmester's 2nd Grade 1948-49 Hiawatha


I have attached the picture I mentioned to you on Facebook.
As I said this is of Mrs. Burmester’s 2nd grade class in Hiawatha circa ’48 – ’49. I believe the room shown behind the group is our classroom too.
Fortunately my mother had the foresight to write the names of the students (at least those that she knew) on the back of the picture.

They are:
