General Notes: Husband - John Heckman

---

He was born and reared in Penn's Valley, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and acquired a fair German education, and was also able to speak English. After attaining to man's estate he came to what is now Sugar Valley, Clinton County, but at that time was still a part of Centre County. Here he purchased of John Kleckner a farm of 200 acres west of the borough of Loganton, which he cleared and improved, making it his home for over half a century.
Like his father he was a stanch supporter of the Democracy, and was an active and prominent member of the Lutheran Church, in which he served as elder, and to which he was a liberal contributor.
