In
preparation for the 1925 Haigler Fair, the following letter was written
to Mrs. Zora Belle (Taylor) Confer:

Sept. 26-25
Mrs.
Earl Confer,
Friend
We the Haigler Fair Association have
been informed that you were the 1st child born in Haigler, Nebr.
We therefore extend to you an invitation to attend
our fair on Sept.
30, Oct 1st and 2nd inclusive as a guest. If you should come
make
yourself known to Sec. W. S. Found
Yours

It
is not known if Mrs. Taylor came to the fair, but her daughter sent the
following letter in 1986 when the Haigler Centennial Committee was
preparing a centennial book. The following letter is found on
page 97 of that volumn.

April 3, 1986
Haigler Centennial Committee,
Haigler Nebraska
This is to inform you that my mother, Zora Belle Taylor was
the
first baby born in Haigler, Nebr., to David and Jennie Taylor on
Christmas Day, December 25, 1885.
Zora was married to
Earl Confer and I am their oldest daughter. I read in the St.
Francis Herald that you are looking for some old history for the
Haigler Centennial. I thought you might want this information
for
your paper.
Here is a copy of a letter that was sent to
Mother asking her to come to Haigler and make an appearance at your
fair.
Sincerely,
Ruby I. Denman |

We are looking for birth records,
copies of birth certificates, Bible records and old time true life
stories.
If you would
like to help with this project, contact the
Dundy County Host.
