This house at 640 S. Baxter Ave. was once owned by Fred Dighton Hotaling. Hotaling was born Jan. 22, 1879, in Johnson County, Nebraska. He married Donnie Belle Funk in December 1903, and they moved to Holyoke from Garden City, Missouri, in 1910. They lived for many years on a farm 6 miles east of town, where Fred farmed and ranched. He was a director of the Phillips County Telephone Company for many years. He served as county commissioner from 1919-21, and he spent his final years working at the courthouse in the wheat production control association and the corn-hog association. — Source: Phillips County Museum
