Laotian Family Moves To Texas The Laotian family which became a part of the Walkerton community last December recently left this area to move to Houston, Texas. Xay Tou Her, his wife and five children, decided to make the change so that they would be closer to a brother, an uncle, and other Laotian families who are living in that area. When they arrived from Laos they stayed in the Bruce Weaver home near Tyner. Later they moved into a mobile home on the Weaver property. “Xay Tou Her wished to thank

everyone in the community for their w armth and assistance during this period in their live,” Mrs. Weaver said. “The family was able to take many personal and household items which were given to them by local people. These things will be a great help as they establish a home in Texas." “The children did not want to go and will miss their friends in Walkerton,’ Mrs. Weaver added. Those wishing to write to the Her family may reach them through the following address: Xay Tou Her In care of P. Chay Her 6107 N. Main St. Houston, Texas 77008.
