Entry: 61833 40TH INFANTRY DIVISION INFORMATION	COMPLETE ROBERT EUGENE HIGGINS MP POST
CARMA WALSH wrote on August 1, 2007 CITY AND STATE: ALEXANDER AR UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Hi, I am writing regarding my maternal uncle, Robert Eugene Higgins, who was an MP stationed at Camp Roberts on the day of his death, April 11, 1953. The day also happened to be Uncle Bobby's 21st birthday. I am probably posting this in the wrong place having no idea what unit Bobby was in, but I haven't a doubt anyone stationed at Camp Roberts in April, 1953, would have knowlege of the events surrounding Uncle Bobby's tragic death. Bobby was married to Annabelle Goodall Higgins and the couple, who I am told celebrated their 1 year anniversary the same day, were expecting their first child. The story that has circulated through the family for all these years goes like this: Annabelle went into labor and the couple was driving in Paso Robles, ostensibly to the hospital, when they were involved in a one car motor vehicle accident. Uncle Bobby was killed instantly. Annabelle lived 2 hours, long enough to be delivered of a healthy newborn girl. The accident and deaths were evidently publicized widely throughout California starting with a "desperate search" for my mother, Bobby's only sibling, and my grandmother, who were both living in Long Beach at the time. They were quickly located. The plight of the poor orphan was followed for some time and people from all over, even outside of CA, wanted to adopt her. I was born on April 15, 1954, a year and four days later. My name, Carma, was the name Bobby and Annabelle had planned to use if they had a little girl. Their daughter was instead named Bobby Anna in memory of her parents. I grew up with the story of Bobby and Annabelle. Around the time I turned 30, I heard, for the first time, that Annabelle had supposedly been pregnant with twins. Bobby Anna's birth weight, a little over 5 lbs., seems to support this, but by no means is this solid piece of information (I have the card from the hospital bassinet) proof of anything. Three troubling pieces of information that have come to light since that time, have, however, given me greater suspicion of the possibility Bobby and Annabelle may indeed have another child somewhere. The first came to light when I was doing extensive genealogy research in 1997. My second cousin, who resides in Lincoln, CA, sent me a photocopy of the primitive, handwritten journal her mother prepared for her in 1968 chronicling the genealogy of her paternal and maternal families. My great-aunt had carefully told the story of Bobby and Annabelle in the journal (her daughter was already fully aware of the story, of course), insisting that the young couple, to whom she was very close, and who had actually introduced them, had told her Annabelle had undergone an x-ray and was found to be carrying twins. While this might not sound very credible, it is, in MY mind, VERY credible for the simple fact the woman who wrote it was the most Godly woman I have ever known. Aunt Bessie's character was absolutely unimpeachable. That got me a little more curious and I again studied the newspaper article about the accident with the photo of poor Annabelle hanging out of the car, unconsious. I ended up calling the Paso Robles Police Dept. in the hopes of obtaining photocopies of any police reports or records that might still exist. I was routed to an officer who was unequivocal: "If there was a fatality, WE HAVE THE RECORDS." This man searched and searched and came up empty-handed and quite suspicious, stating the lack of one iota of a mention of the accident was "troubling". I tried the PR hospital and they acted like requesting records that old was insane. Hospitals routine microfiched records during that era, but my query to the hospital was pretty well sand-bagged from the get-go. The third piece of information I learned just recently. My second cousin, Aunt Bessie's son, worked in Paso Robles for a time during the 1970's. He was new to the community and he and his wife were invited to the home of a new acquaintance. During that visit, the man began to tell the story of a young MP who was killed along with his wife, etc. It was obviously Bobby and Annabelle's story, but my cousin waited for the man to finish before revealing that he and Bobby were first cousins and that Bobby had followed HIS family from AR to CA where he had lived with them for some time, eventually enlisted, served in Korea, and ended up stationed at Camp Roberts. The couple was flabbergasted and quickly went into a related story which follows: They said that during those years, the early to mid-fifties, there was an ilicit "adoption ring" operating out of the PR hospital where some of the M.D.'s stationed at CR moonlighted in the ER. (Having worked in the medical field for 30 years, I know moonlighting in emergency rooms was and is still a common practice.) It had long been rumored that a baby boy had also been born and that the delivering M.D. "kept the baby". It is that story, that was the catalyst for this email. The tragic event surely sparked any number of rumors, but I figured at the very least, I might accidently run across someone who knew Bobby and/or Annabelle even if I am unable to find any other informatin regarding the possibility of a second infant. If anyone has information regarding Robert Eugene "Bobby" Higgins, his wife, Annabelle Goodall Higgins, the accident, any issues related to the accident, any knowlege of an illegal "adoption ring" in PR during those year, I would very much appreciate hearing from you. My email address is: CWalsh415@aol.com. (If there is a better location to make queries of this nature, please let me know.) Thank you, Carma Walsh Keywords: Robert Eugene "Bobby" Higgins Annabelle Goodall Higgins
