Harmon Albert Hiatt
Reference: Hiatt History pasted below in Blog 446 on May 5, 2009
The original Harmon Albert Hiatt buildings were located on the same spot that later became the Stokes Farm. From what my dad told me the Hiatt buildings were located in the area of the Power pole in the Stokes farm picture below. For all you Hiatt folks, this is where your North Dakota Roots originated. Ackworth Community located 17 miles NW of Dunseith.

Hiatt history from Leola Hiatt Lagerquist and Nettie Hiatt Peterson: Dunseith & St. John
Posted by Evon Lagerquist (77): Dunseith, ND
Gary, it is Harmon Albert Hiatt, he was born in 1854 and died in 1923, according to his head stone at the cemetary, and Mom and Nettie. His 1st wife and mother to Amos & Henry was Mary Victoria Louder Hiatt. She was born in 1862 and died in 1885 in Iowa. GGHarmon then married Louisa Alice Woodford, and they had George Franklin, Joseph William(Uncle Willie), Anna May, John Jackson(Uncle John J.), James Arthur(Uncle Art), Hannah Dililah(Lila), Charlottie Marie, Harry Isaac, and Walter LeRoy. After Louisa’s death, he married Myrtle Emma Klang. So, Harmon Albert Hiatt had 3 wives all together!! Calvin Hiatt in Portland, OR. may have more onfo on the Hiatt’s. Thanks, Gary.

Wayne,I’m sorry to have taken so long getting back to you. Circumstances went
beyond my control. I see your first email is dated Apr 12. I went to a Corps of Engineers training class in Dallas on Apr 6 and didn’t get back until Apr 17. On the 19th, Winifred Eurich passed away and I was going to come up for the funeral. The following day, before I even got plane reservations made, my wife’s younger brother, at 54, died of a heart attack in Mississippi. We got back from there on Sun the 26th and I’ve been playing catch-up ever since. I’d love to get that Japanese instrumental back if it’s the one your Wayne, I don’t think I’ve seen you since your high school graduation. I Dale

Gary and Friends,There is only one Wicks that I remember– Carl Wicks. He lived on the
corner of Highway 43 and the road to Joe Dietrich’s—Ele’s dad’s. His house was almost directly north and across the highway from Hackman’s place. He hunted deer with Floyd Lamb and our bunch and was somehow related to Floyd, cousin or uncle, I think. He was a taller man and had a growth on his temple that eventually was about the size of a tennis ball. He couldn’t see very well and was unable to wear glasses because of this. I think, if I remember correctly, he had the growth removed and got glasses—and then died shortly thereafter. My grandfather had sold / loaned / traded him a D John Deere tractor on steel wheels. He didn’t want the tractor or changed his mind or something, so one day in about 1960, Grandpa Hans took me along to Carl’s to tow the tractor back home–about 3 miles. The steel lugs on the old John Deere made for a rough ride. I stood, then sat, then tried to stand with my knees bent but nothing worked. By the time we got back home, my teeth were nearly rattling and my arms were numb from holding on to that old steel steering wheel. A plowed field wasn’t too bad, but a hard road surface was not the place for lugs. Some folks may not know about steel wheels with steel lugs, but before rubber tires they all had lugs. Never had to worry about a flat tire in those days! Attached is a picture of a restored D JD on steel. Thanks Gary! Dick  |
