During a June 2018 visit to Table Rock, Mike & Linda Warner, with their granddaughter Hayley Sander and their daughter Kelli Warner Sander. Photo 6620.
Ben Heer of Table Rock and his second wife, Martha McNeal, had many children, and who included a daughter Mary Alice, who went by Alice.
The roots of this family go down deeper than most. Ben came to Table Rock in about 1867. But his wife had been here for a decade by that time. Martha was from one of the earliest pioneer families, William & Eleanor McNeal, who came in 1856. Thus, Hayley's great great great great grandparents William & Eleanor McNeal were among the absolutely first settlers in Table Rock.
Alice Heer married Ray Warner and they made Humboldt their home.
Alice & Ray Warner had three children, Glenn, Dorothy, and Loren.
Loren was Mike's dad. That is who Mike is. And Linda, his wife, is the genealogist who has gathered records and photographs. Mike & Linda's granddaughter Hayley is a museum nut, so grandma & grandpa and mom met in Table Rock to give Hayley a tour of Table Rock. "Is, like, every building here a museum?" Hayley asked.
Here are photographs (or what copies she had of them) that Linda shared .

the heer family
This precious picture was in bad shape. It had broken in half, and part was missing. It shows a young Ben & Martha McNeal Heer & family. However, what the picture lacked was made up for by what it had: names. This picture was listed as unidentified until Linda Warner spotted it on the wall.
Seated: Ellen, Carrie, Ben & Martha, Alice, and Nancy.
Standing: Frank, Charley, Marion, John, Kate, and Alois (who went by Lou or Louis).
