I am looking for any information you may have on Minola Hawkins Wigton. She was an operator from 1922 until her death in 1961. She worked at various newspapers in the Mid-Section of the U.S. (Minnesota to Florida, Virginia to Texas and all points in between.)Her father, O.E. Hawkins, was a newspaper publisher from 1879 until his death in 1932 in Burr Oak, MI. He published the Mancelona Herald in 1905 and the Deerfield newspaper in 1879 at the age of 21. Minola learned everything hands on from him. I can't seem to find the ITU listed anywhere to search their archives and at the present time, it appears as if there is no records of her existence which I KNOW is not true. Please e-mail me any info you may have and I thank you much.
