General Notes: Husband - John Heckman
He was born in Penn's Valley, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and accompanied his parents to their later home where he grew to manhood. After his marriage he continued to reside at the homestead in a small house in the "door yard", and later he had charge of the farm for ten years, but finally purchased the place from his father. He had a good start in receiving $500 from his father at the time of marriage, and by his successful management he accumulated a handsome property. In 1863 he bought the "Arnold Custard" farm in the Nittany Valley, and in the spring of 1873 removed to that locality, retiring from active business. He afterward purchased the John Watson farm of 113 acres for $14,799.68. He was an industrious man, full of resolution, and invariably fulfilled his promises. At the same time he enjoyed life, taking pleasure when it came rightfully, and he lived to see his eighty-second year, his death occurring in Porter township, Clinton County. In politics he was first a Whig and later a Democrat, but beyond voting regularly he paid little attention to public affairs. For many years he was a leading member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in his locality, in which he held various offices, and to which he gave liberally. His estimable wife died at the age of seventy-five years, and the remains of both were interred in St. Paul's cemetery in Porter township, Clinton County.
