Certificate of Death
Neb. State Department of Health #A30852
Moses E. Hiatt, 2121 Lake St. Omaha, Neb. died 22 June 1920 of Carcinoma of Prostate, with Uremic coma following an operation. Gives his occupation as laborer, born in Iowa of David Hiatt of Ill., and Elizabeth Evermor of Iowa. (Elizabeth Everman/Eberman born Ill.) Information provided by Luther Hiatt, son. He was taken to Anderson, Iowa for internment in Mt. Zion Cem.
Rex Darst, son of Alice Hiatt and Soloman Darst, recalled in 1986, at about the age of 92, that Moses was the first STIFF he remembers seeing. The family had brought him to the family farm by rail car and prepared him for burial, the women doing the dressing and powdering.
Moses and Ida with their family was found in Riverside Twp., Fremont Co., in 1885 and in Greene Twp., in Fremont Co., 1895.
Moses also is known to have been a rancher and would speculate in cattle, apparently he became quite well to do at one time. He would arrange to purcase cattle directly from the ranchers then sell them to the packing houses who would pay him at the rail head. He would arrange for the cattle to be delivered to the rail yard by the rancer, then they would be shipped to Omaha where he would have them sold without ever having to deal directly with the cattle.
Moses had a large sheep ranch in what is now south Omaha, stretching south of Q st. along the old RR Ave., Now the Kenedy Freeway, to as far south as the South Roads shopping center and as far East as the Missouri River.
Moses also worked with the J. L. Real Estate Company which was operated by his cousins, Jesse Hiatt, son of Moses who was a brother to David Hiatt, and for whom our Moses was named.

Fred O., Ruby, Sadie Hiatt
My mother, Ruby Hiatt, Casey, Anderson - wrote for me a short note:
"She never cut her hair, it was always a little dreary. She was sweet, quiet and easy going. The only person I ever knew that gave thanks for the food when I was young. She seemed to us to like to visit but never went any place with us. She owned 4 homes in Omaha and always lived here since I knew her. She would visit her kids in California some times. She died there (in Los Angelos).
All her children except Dad (Fred) and Bert, went to Calif. when I was quite young. I remember we lived next door to Lulu and Jim (Danaldson) who had 3 children: Sonny (LJim) and Belvie around my brother Fritz and my age. We were always playing together until they left for California when I was about 6 years old. Welma was an older sister, she was murdered in Calif. when she was about 19 years old.
I remember Aunt Ethel and her husband coming real often for dinner and her husband Harold, always laid on the couch after dinner and said, "when the stomach is full the body need rest.", funny things a kid remembers.
I remember my Mom fixed big dinners every Sunday and always company. Dads or Moms brothers and sisters, mostly chicken dinners.
All of Dads brothers and sisters left when I was 5 or 6, except Bert and Martha. I loved Aunt Martha, always scared of Uncle Bert.
I thought Aunt Ruby was beautiful. My Dad was a good looking man, but he was gone a lot. After he was a policeman, when I was 8, we moved and lived on Monroe St. There were no buses, Dad, Mom and Fritz and I would walk to South Omaha to go to a movie. Sometimes Dad would take turns carrying us. I don't why we walked because Dad always had a car. (Omaha was a separate town from town from Noorth Omaha at that time, about 1920-24. At the time, Monroe Street where they lived was then a part of Albright - now unknown to most people as anything but Omaha).
We moved to Vinton Street and Dad worked nights. I seldom remember seeing him and don't remeber speaking to him or him to me for years. I think until I was married. He gave more attention to Jimmy (My first son) than he did to any of his own kids. But then he was friendlier to me than ever before. Maybe being a grandpa changed him or just getting older. I found out he could be rather nice.
I don't remember Grandpa Hiatt (Moses). He died when I was 4 in Iowa. (Died in Omaha, buried in Mt. Zion, just No. of Sidney, Iowa.) Grandma and he was divorced. She later married Granpa Phelps. He had white hair and a long white beard. A real nice guy, we liked him a lot.
This grandmother was often spoke of by my mother, Ruby Hiatt Anderson, who use to visit with her often. Grandma Ida loved to tell stories, and was quite adamont of her lineage. She was quite proud of her family.
One story she told is that she was related to Mary Baker Eddy. She also said that she came from the line of Mary, Queen of Scots. She also use to tell about Queen Elizabeth, (Mary Stuart) and was quite bitter of her. She use to say that Elizabeth was a "Womans man".
This grandmother had lived quite a hard life and did not tolerate waste. She would skimp and save, and was very exacting in all her records. She aquired a lot of real estate, and rental houses, both in Omaha and Los Angelos, as I understand. She made her own clothing, and when it changed seasons, she would trim her dresses to fit. She would add a length of dress to make it longer for the sleeves, or in the spring, or summer, she would take off the sleeve.
She had a beautiful broach of diamonds that she gave to her children. I understand that each of the family got a ring made from the diamonds of it, but no one knows what became of them.
She use to also say that our grandfather raised up Andrew Pickens, the Rev. War general of fame.
Ida and Moses separated, mother said that Moses started running around with other women and Ida would not tolerate it. At one time they had a large sheep ranch that covered most the area where now the Kenedy Freway begins, to the South Roads, and several blocks to the West.
She married 2nd Benjamin Phelps and received his Civil War Pension.
Ida separted from Moses about 1916 She lists herself as widow of Moses in the 1916-18 city directory of Omaha, living at 2711 Monroe St. with several of her children. 1916 City Dr. of Omaha

My mother wrote a note which said that this Grandfather was quiet and that she loved him, even though he did not pay a lot of attention to the grandchildren. My mother also use to also tell us about how he use to like to scare the kids and tell them scary stories. Like the Ghost in the potatoe celler, just like the celler in Grandma Goldies old house on Monroe St.
She told us of a time when some older boys would scare my mom and some of the other smaller children as they walked home, sometimes thru the graveyard. So he put a sheet over his self and waited one evening for them in the grave yard and when they came along he jumped out after them and scared them so bad they would never tease the girls again.
Grandpa Teeter died as the result of a fall down a flight of stairs in Grandma Hiatt's house just off 24th and Vinton St. He was coming down the stairs when he fell down the steep stair way and head long through the glass window at the bottom of the flight of stairs. My mother was there also and she has always felt so badly about him falling, she ran out and saw him lying and injured on the ground. He died a couple of days later.
Grandpa Teeter was over six feet tall, his father Jacob William was also over six feet. He use to be referred to as short Jake, as his father was called long Jake. Jacob Martin and his father were wall paper hangers. I have an old tin type which is very faint but can be seen enough to see these two men in their shop with rolls of paper behind them. They both had long handlebar mustaches. Tall Jake, Sr had a full white beard and mustache with long handles.

Laura Mae BURGER
Laura Mae Burger was promised to marry George Burger as a pre-marriage agreement between parents. Marriages were arranged, grandma Teeter/Hiatt use to tell us how her mother had loved another, but could not marry him, as she
was already promised to George, since childhood. There were other Burger - Teeter marriages, making it seem as though there was a family bond for many years and generations.
In the autograph book of her brother, Albert Burger, she wrote:
Dear Brother,
Golden has been the past
Bright may thy future be
And tho distance may divide us
Keep one little thought for me.
Your Sister, Laura Burger.
Jan 27, 1886 Tipton, Iowa
Friendship and Truth

Prove true. This is the golden rule of Life
Let it be so to you. Remember me

From Grandma Goldie Mae Teeter, Hiatt, "Laura Burger, lived with a family named Nally, (Nalley) for a long time. When they died, they left her a couple thousand dollars in Dixon, Ill.
My mother, Ruby Hiatt, Anderson, said that this grandmother, whom she knew and loved, was very modern. She loved to have new and pretty dresses, and would take her to the movies. She was fond of all the children and loved to have them with her.

My mother wrote a note for me concerning her grandmother Laura: "Grandma Teeter was always small, about 5 feet and never got very heavy. She was a real sweetie. She was a real hard worker and always loving and kind. She liked to have one of us stay with her overnight, or even a week. She would take us to movies, shoping, etc. I never saw her sit idle, always found something useful to do.

Harold Foster WALKER
S/o Frank (None) Walker & Della Ora Cure. Della born 15 January 1880 passed away 26 Nov 1967. SENT by RUBY ANDERSON.
Harold Walker was one of those individuals whose great gift in life was to be a peacemaker and help to all those around him. He and his wife, Wanda Hiatt
Walker, were always pleasant, kind and explified the true Christian way of
life. I could think of no greater attribute to pay to any individual other
than that of an honest, loving and generous parent with malace nor envy to
or of any others. Wanda and Harold Walker were always supportive of others
in the family and helped to hold together a spirit of unity and love of all
the family members. Our families often had get togethers, camp outs, picnics and reunions together and with the other cousins, aunts and uncles. Spent a lot of years going to Louisville State Park.
Harold was also a veteran of WWII. He suffered a great deal the last year or two of his life with cancer and we were all greived to see him so. His death was a great loss to us all.
Wanda May HIATT
Information from Wanda Walker.
Sent by Ruby Anderson. Wanda was born in Omaha and always lived there.
Married Harold Walker, worked at Wilson's packing over 30 years. When Harold was in the Army she went to San Francisco for about 1 years, then they went to San Louis, Harold served in the Pacific War, brought back a Japanese Head, helmet and all, I recall seeing it maybe up till about 1980 and I think Wanda made him finally bury it in his back yard. When Harold was sent over seas Wanda went back to Omaha and worked at Wilsons Packing House. After 18 years of marriage they adopted 2 boys. They use to come to visit us in Oroville a few times, always enjoyed their visits. They held the family gatherings at their house a few times, Harold and Art build the houses they lived in. They had a wonderful life together until he got cancer. Died 3 years before her, when she also died from Cancer. When Harold died, she lost all her will to live, how much I really miss her and Harold, such a fine and loving couple, wish I knew more to write of their lives but all is gone now to recall the stories.
Wanda Hiatt Walker
Born 1 June 1921 in Omaha, Douglas, Neb. passed away 3 Dec 1990 Omaha, Douglas, Neb. Wanda was the daughter of Goldie Mae Teeter Hiatt and Fred Osten Hiatt. Wanda married Harold Walker in Omaha, Neb. They were the parents of 2 son's Michael and Daniel Walker. Wanda had one Grandson Daniel Walker McCall (adopted by Daniel Sr. ex-wife and husband Scott). Wanda was one of the truest Christian persons I have ever known, she never had a cross word or evil thought of anyone, she was always kind and helpful. She loved her family and will be missed by all who knew and loved her. I at least am comforted to know that she rests in the love of God and is at peace with him and those who have gone before to greet her as she joined them. Internment in the Hillcrest Ceme. by Larry Anderson.
Wanda and Harold adopted Mike and Danny, they were both of the same mother, they were so prized and loved by Wanda and Harold, always so proud of their sons, was so glad to see them so happy as they always wanted children so badly. Wanda especially for me, was so good to us, always doing little things since we were kids, a little candy, a few cents to get something, etc., always smiling and happy.
