(The Wigstrom Family) What a wonderful website about my Grandfather's
people! He was Adolf Wigstrom, my mother is his youngest daughter, Irene
Huff. I never really knew anything about that side of the family till I
read your website. Thank you so much for creating it!

I believe that my old family home on Hwy 55 in Silverhill once belonged
to Oscar Johnson. My mother used to make jokes when things went missing
or we heard strange bumps in the night - "no need to worry - that's just
Oscar"

My wife Judy and I just bought 4 1/2 acres in Silverhill at the northeast
corner of 1st Street and North. I believe we have found our ultimate
destination and the location of our dreams. This town is what's best
about "small town america" and with it's rich history, Silverhill is
definitely "A Good Place To Live."
I am particularly interested in the farming history of this area and the
Silverhill Satsuma Mandarin, which was apparently developed by Dr. O.F.E.
Winberg here. I have a very nice specimen of this delicious citrus tree
in my yard and I wonder if it is descended from one of the original
plantings in 1910.
This website is a fantastically helpful place to learn about the unique
and special town that is Silverhill. I look forward to contributing what
I can to my newfound home.

As a child, my grandmother and I visited the graves of her parents in a
Silverhill cemetary. Her maiden name was Waveria. She has since passed,
as her husband. I believe I have her maiden name correct, maybe drop the
i.
If anyone can point me in a direction as to where I can find her parents
graves, I would be very much in debt to them.
The daughter was Gertrude and the son was Anton. Both are buried in Pine
Crest cemetary in Mobile Alabama.
If additional information is needed, please contact me.
Thank you in advance.

My grandmother, Esther Carlson Sullivan, died this spring. She was the
last of the six Carlson girls. She was 96 years old. She was born in
Silverhill and fondly remembers her family farm. She left for Arizona in
1918, but never forgot Alabama. I loved listening and recording her
stories from her childhood. We were told many years ago that Silverhill
no longer existed. We are very pleased to visit your site and learn more.
Sincerely,

I was just sitting here amazed at the "Wigstrom Family History". I am
the granddaughter of Evelyn Skelton Wigstrom that married Ernest
Wigstrom. She passed away last year and I miss Nanny (Evelyn) and Papa
(Ernest) very much. By seeing this it has allowed me to see many of their
very important moments in their lives. Thank you so much for the time and
hard work that you have put into the history.
