General Notes: Husband - William M. Heilman

---

He was educated in the public schools of his neighborhood. When twenty-one years old he began business as a contractor and builder, in partnership with his brother J. M. Heilman, this association continuing until 1878, when another brother, John F., came into the business, the firm name becoming Heilman Brothers. In connection with their large contracting business the broth­ers erected a planing mill, equipping it with modern machinery and appliances, driven by a fifty-horsepower engine. An extensive busi­ness was carried on, the firm contracting for and building houses in Armstrong, Westmoreland, Allegheny, Butler and Venango counties. In 1909 the firm was incorporated as Heilman Brothers & Co. Lumber Company, with Wil­liam M. Heilman as treasurer. In 1905 Mr. Heilman was elected vice president of the Kittanning Plate Glass Company, and in May, 1911, was elected president and general man­ager of that concern, which offices he held at the time of his death. In addition to these interests, Mr. Heilman was a stockholder and director in the Fort Pitt Powder Company. For a number of years he was a councilman of Kittanning, and he was one of the first men to advocate the paving and sewering of the borough, and through his persistence the im­provements were made.
Mr. Heilman was a member of Blue Lodge No. 244, F. & A. M., and Orient Chapter, No. 247, R. A. M., both of Kittanning, and of Pittsburgh Commandery, No. 1, K. T., and Syria Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S. During a European trip he enjoyed being a visitor to various lodges in the different coun­tries he visited. Probably few men have had the opportunity to meet so many fellow Masons as he. While at Madeira, Rome, various German cities, in Egypt even, he was the guest of the Masonic lodges in those places. One spot of interest to which he made a special trip was the stone quarry from which King Solomon secured the stone for the building of the temple, so intimately associated with Masonic rites. During this trip Mr. Heilman was accompanied by his eldest daughter. He was a Republican in politics.
