· 2 min read · 2 people named

Read on the Newspapers.com page images (read-only; no clippings made) during the Ancestry direct-line hint review. Each item came to the tree through an AI-extracted Ancestry index; the transcriptions below are from the page, not from the index.

  1. The Forum-Advocate (Wells, Minnesota), Thursday 2 Feb 1922, p. 8, school news (newspapers.com/image/1025097394; Ancestry index 62364/4790168263, "Lucius Hegnauer"):

    The First Grade was entertained by Lucius Hegnauer who had a birthday party on Wednesday.

    Robert Lucius Jr. was born at Wells on 25 Jan 1916; 25 Jan 1922 was a Wednesday, so this was his sixth birthday. As a child he evidently went by his middle name. Saved to H0025. (The index hint had been offered on his father, H0017.)

  2. Longview Daily News (Longview, Washington), Monday 29 Nov 1954, p. 5, "Births", St. John's Hospital (newspapers.com/image/577983792; Ancestry index 62945/2142209676, indexed "Airman Robert Hegnauar Box"):

    Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hegnauer, Box 4, Carrolls, a boy on Nov. 28.

    Carrolls is where the 1957 and 1960 directories place him. The son is not in the tree; he is probably the third child named in the 1982 divorce certificate (three children born alive) and may be living.

  3. Longview Daily News, Saturday 30 Jul 1977, p. 15, "Hegnauer–Watenpaugh" (newspapers.com/image/576961245; Ancestry index 62116/238898572):

    Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Brekke of Longview announce the engagement of their niece, Cindy A. Watenpaugh, to David A. Hegnauer, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Hegnauer of Kelso. An Oct. 8 wedding is planned. Both are graduates of Kelso High School and are employed locally. […]

    This concerns living people; it is kept in the private tree only (cited on H0025 and on a living relative's Name).

  4. The Wells Mirror (Wells, Minnesota), Thursday 6 Feb 1936, p. 8, "Opinions Around Town on Event" (the Paul Bunyan basketball tournament, Fats vs. Leans) (newspapers.com/image/1025548931; Ancestry index 62364/4887716972):

    Robert Hegnauer (Master of Ceremonies): "The house will be a sellout; 90,000 people attending."

    This is not attributed to H0025: the Robert Hegnauer living at Wells in 1936 was most likely his father (H0017). Not saved.
