In the photo, the Pine Street side of the house appears as a front of the house. The fence <br />currently surrounding the back yard, and abutting Pine, was not in place at that time. The house <br />at 700 Lincoln can be seen on the right of the photo, to the east across Lincoln. <br />Viggers Family Ownership (1920-1932) <br />Arthur Viggers (abt. 1871-1938) and Polly Viggers (1879-1951) purchased 701 Lincoln from Tom <br />Horn in 1920. <br />Like Tom and Edith Horn, they had been born in England and lived in Iowa before coming to <br />Colorado. At the time in 1920 that they moved in to 701 Lincoln, their children were Edna, <br />about age 19; Frances, about age 16; Arthur Jr., age about 9; and Raymond, age about 4. <br />Arthur Viggers worked as a hoisting engineer in area coal mines. The family is listed as living in <br />the house at the time of the 1930 census. Arthur Viggers and Raymond Viggers are believed to <br />have served in World War II after the family moved away from 701 Lincoln. <br />The following photo, copied from a Viggers family tree on Ancestry.com, shows Polly and <br />Arthur Viggers and their daughter, Frances, in about 1915: <br />3 <br />
