General Notes: Husband - William Henry Heaton

---

He was educated in the common schools of the borough of Tamaqua, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, and in Canandaigua Academy, Canandaigua, New York. He was early engaged with his father in the coal business at Tamaqua and Girardville. On September 15, 1862, he enlisted in Company G, 6th regiment Pennsylvania militia, and served during the emergency of that period, as an orderly sergeant. Early in 1865, in connection with his brothers, he opened the Cuyler colliery, at Raven Run, which they operated continuously and successfully under the firm-name of S. M., W. H. and R. C. Heaton, for a period of twenty years, disposing of it to the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company in 1885. Mr. Heaton was one of the organizers and a director of the Citizens' National Bank of Ashland, when that institution was chartered and authorized to commence business in July, 1875. Two years later he succeeded J. H. Hoover as president, and held that position for many years, devoting his whole time to it beginning in 1885.
Mr. Heaton was a republican in politics, and a member of the Presbyterian church, of which he was trustee.
