I was sorry to hear about Ervin. I worked with him has a patient in my physical therapy clinic in Winthrop and we struck up a friendship when we talked about his work in the Winthrop Cemeteries. I asked about an unmarked grave for Robert, the twin brother of Richard Higgins and he shared with me that they were his half brothers! We knew both and my sister and Robert had a special relationship until his most unfortunate accident January 3, 1961. We came summers and often had lots of fun at the farm as kids He told me that Robert was buried in the cemetery at the end of Narrows Pond Road in a marked grave. I truly think he was amazed that I knew the twins and even showed him pictures my mother took of them. Ervin was a hard worker and very pleasant man to work with. Because of the circumstances surrounding Robert's death, I wanted to place a marker on his grave and it was then that he told me Robert did have one in the Hamblin Family plot. What a coincidence for both of us.
