Professional Career

Edward and Hattie owned the Turkey River Hotel in Turkey River Station, Millville Township community. There were actually two hotels in Turkey River. The other hotel was somewhat connected with the Turkey River Station railroad depot. In the 1930's Ed dismantled their hotel and its lumber was used to build their first home in Section 3 in Millville Township in Turkey River. This little home was located between the Turkey River and the Mississippi River on a benched out area about one mile east of Millville Crossing, just north east of the intersection of the Millville to Buena Vista highway and the Ferry Landing Road. The home flooded and they moved to their second home which was just below the bench in Section 3 in Millville Township in Turkey River. It had belonged to Millie's great-uncle John Minger. John had never married and was unable to care for himself as he aged. His brother and sister-in-law, Charlie and Elsie Minger, moved in with John and cared for him until he died, then continued to live in his home. Ed and Hattie bought this home after Charlie Minger died. The home was built of logs. An electrical fire in the upstairs wiring caused its destruction. Hattie was able to save a writing desk from the flames. Many family pictures were lost in the fire. Due to financial hard times Ed and Hattie were often separated for long periods of time and Hattie sought work outside of their home. She was able to secure employment as a cook in a County Home in Illinois. Later, she moved to Rockford, Illinois and worked as a housekeeper for a wealthy family.
