THREE MIAMIANS ARE MEMBERS OF IOWA FAMILY OF 10

   Eight children are included in the unusual family group shown in

are residents of Miami, two of them widely known business men.
Those standing in the top row, left to right, are Louis Hector,
manager of the Drake Lumber Company of Miami; Mrs. E. J. Boymen,
432 N. E. Twenty-seventh street; Miss Amelia Hector, who lives with
her parents in Walnut; Fred C. Hector of Walnut; Julius Hector, the
father, who is president of the Exchange State Bank of Walnut, and
Mrs. C. R. Spanglar, who lives in Walnut.  Seated on the ground at
the left is Harry H. Hector, president and owner of the Hector Supply
Company of Miami, and seated in the center of the picture is the
mother, Mrs. Julius Hector.  To the right is Miss Edna Hector of
Walnut and on the right end of the lower row is C. J. Hector, who
has retired and lives in Fort Lauderdale.  Mr. Hector, the father,
is 74 years of age and Mrs. Hector is 69.  They were married in 1876.

young as his sons.
