Vera, did you know the Thomas family from Ogletown May Thomas was my Aunt. I still keep in touch with Violet and Joyce. I went to Windber school for one year and then we moved to Conemaugh.

The Custer name is a very early pioneer family in our neck of the woods of Somerset Co., Pa.
I have researched it for many years. Hope you have compiled your history, it is a good one to keep for your kids.

I was not born in Winder, but in Ogletown. We left PA when I was 9 years old (the mine shut down in 1955) and I too remember the "good old days". My father (Earl) was a coal miner and of course we shopped at Eureka store. (I still have a receipt book.) Some of my fondest memories are picking out some cookies, seeing Santa at the top of the stairs and a lady who gave me a Heintz 57 pin, which I still have today. I have traveled back with my husband and children so they could see the area, which is quite beautiful!

The wonderful smells, the sound of my shoes on the hard wood floors, and the shopping trips I made there as a child (got my 1st & only bike there) and young adult with aunts & uncles when I came back to Windber for summer vacations are forever etched in my memories of the Eureka Stores
