 The Dallas News September 26, 1924 Page 4 Sherman, Texas, Sep 25 - Mrs. H. W. Still of Luella, Grayson County, and Mrs. John Biggert of Memphis, Tenn., only two sisters surviving in a family of five, have this week been reunited after a separation of twenty-four years. At Saris, Miss., in 1900, these sisters separated: Mrs. Biggert going to Memphis to reside. During the first years they heard from each other, but after that time all letters were returned unclaimed, and early in 1902 Mrs. Still moved to Detroit, Red River County. Mrs. Still's eldest daughter, Mrs. Ada Lugger of Memphis, on returning home from a visit with her mother at Luella this year, looked through the telephone directory there and found the name Biggert, called the number and thus located her aunt. Mrs. Lugger has been living in Memphis five years. A family reunion is the result of the finding of the sisters, and a number of other relatives will gather this week with Mrs. Biggert and Mrs. Still at the home of the latter in Luella. Mrs. Biggert is 64 years old, Mrs. Still is 71 and both are quite active. Biography Index Susan Hawkins © 2024  |
