Higgins, first North Central president, dies
Francis Higgins of St. Louis, Mo., a Portage County native who
was the first president of North Central Airlines, died at 9 a.m. today.
He was 73.
Higgins was born in Stevens Point Oct. 15, 1901, and grew up
in the Custer area. As a young man he was a printer and was once
employed by the Stevens Point Journal when its offices were upstairs in
the Atwell building at Main Street and Strongs Avenue.
He was with the FWD Corp. in Clintonville when North Central was born.
He was the company's sales manager and also had charge of its aircraft
operation. (The firm had its own planes because of poor transportation
out of Clintonville.)
When FWD decided to form an airline in 1944, Higgins was its first
president. He helped the airline (then known as Wisconsin Central) get a
government franchise in competition with more than 30 other applicants.
Service started in 1948, with mostly Wisconsin cities (including Sevens
Point) on the route. Today North Central is one of the nation's leading
regional air carriers.
By the time the airline started operations, it had been cut loose from
FWD and Higgins had moved to Madison, where North Central was then
based. (It has since moved to Minneapolis.)
Higgins remained as president during the airline's turbulent early
years, leaving in 1952 during a low point in the company's financial
history.
He moved to St. Louis and formed a public relations consulting service
to Ozark Airlines, but continued as a consultant to North Central He
played a consulting role in the creation of the Central
(Photo of Higgins on original page)
Wisconsin Airport at Mosinee during the 1960s. Higgins played a
prominent part in the Robert J. Serling book, "Ceiling Unlimited." which
told the story of North Central. Serling described Higgins. At the time
he became North Central president, as "a burly ebullient, likeable man
of 43 with shaggy hair crowning a face that could have been hewed out of
solid granite. He looked like a professional football lineman, although
fate had decreed he could never be an athlete. At the age of seven,
Higgins was stricken with polio that left him with a decided limp. It
was typical of him that he always joked about it telling everyone. 'I
just have a distinctive walk."
The author said Higgins and Hal Carr, now North Central board chairman,
helped get the airline going by personally selling stock. Higgins struck
one bonanza in a Stevens Point bar, unloading shares to happy
conventioneers “at a grocers" meeting. Employees' loyalty to Higgins
helped keep North Central alive, said Serling. "Letting down a man like
Francis Higgins." he wrote, "was the equivalent of renouncing one's
American citizenship."
In 1971, long after he had left the state. Higgins received the
Wisconsin Aviation Award for his contribution to the development of
aviation.
For the last several years he had been confined to his home
because of ill health.
Higgins was married in Wakefield, Mich., in 1925 to Helen Carew, who
survives. Also surviving are three sisters in Milwaukee.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at St. Rose's Catholic
Church. Clintonville, with the Rev. Aloysius Knier officiating and
burial will take place in Manawa.
Friends may call after 4 p.m. Friday at the Heuer-Sievers-Stensrud
Funeral Home, Clintonville.
A memorial fund has been established.
