Doug Hughes and Maybelle "Dickie" Yandell across the valley from Squaw Creek. Dickie is Doug's aunt, Melba's sister.
"Melba Yandell Hughes and her family came to Squaw Creek because of the lettuce. Melba had been married when her family lived in Oklahoma, and had lost her husband after their son, Doug, was born. Eldest of eight children, Melba moved back home so her son could enjoy family life and the attention of all those brothers and sisters--actually, his uncles and aunts. The youngest of them, Maybelle, nicknamed 'Dickie,' was Doug's age and they grew up together at Squaw Creek." -- Photo used by June Simonton in her: The First Pioneers: a Squaw Creek History, p.24.
