Email from Nancy Higgins – Good morning, I am reaching out to see if anyone has a picture of the old train station in Dyment. I have fond memories of arriving by local train to visit with my many family members who lived in Dyment, coming from the large Higgins clan. I am doing some genealogical writing and a picture would be much appreciated. I will also reach out to get permission from family to share some old pictures I have. I see that the wedding of my Uncle Bob and Auntie Zella has been posted. With regards, Nancy Higgins
