Shown here are (left to right): Mrs. Aaron Dreese (Ada Hassinger), Clara (Hassinger) Aigler, Rolandes Hassinger, and Merle Reinard. The location is the back yard of where Brufene Thoman lives today. Butchering hogs in town was common until the 1950s. Now it is exceedingly rare or more likely non-existent.

(Can you name two other non-butchering things cooked in iron kettles in Beavertown? Answer next month.)

Answer to Last Month

Did you guess or recognize Shem Aigler and his twin sister Emma in our mystery photo last month?

Emma is living in Carlisle in a retirement home, but Shem is right here in Beavertown.

No question about it, they are the oldest living twins that were born in Beavertown, now, today, and perhaps they are likewise the oldest living Beavertown twins of all times.
