Mrs. Hettenbaugh passed away on Nov. 19, 1976 at the age of 93. The Hettenbaughs have four grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

Mrs. Heid (Violet) lives at Jamieson by her two sons, Fred and William who each own and operate 350 acres irrigated farm and jointly own and operate a cattle ranch on Cottonwood Mountain area. Fred was a junior-high principal for nine years before joining the farming operations on a full time basis. William started farming two years before graduating in 1963 from the College in Caldwell, Id. He and his wife, Rochell, have a son, Monte and daughter, Sheri. Fred and wife, Evelyn, have a son, Edwin and four daughters; Debra, Barbara, Connie and Judy. Carlene Heid-Johnson and husband Glenn and their two children, Janice and Gary, live in Erie, Pa.
