General Notes: Husband - A. N. Heckman


He was born in Logan township, Clinton County, Pennsylvania, and was reared at the old homestead. In the winter of 1850-51 he began to attend school in a house which stood upon his father's farm. A primer, spelling book and the New Testament were the only text books, but as his father placed a high estimate on an education, he was regular in attendance and made the best of his opportunities. In early manhood he married and after this event he continued to reside with his father at the Logan township homestead until 1871, when he removed to the "Arnold Custard farm" in Nittany Valley, and later he purchased the place at $100 per acre. In the spring of 1888 he retired from active business, and in 1891 he left the farm and located at Lamar, where he had built a comfortable home.
For many years he was an active member of the Lutheran Church, and beginning in 1872 he was continuously in office with the exception of one year. He served as elder for twelve years, and for some time was superintendent of the Sunday-school. He and his sons were all stanch Republicans, and he held various township offices while others were declined, as he had little inclination for public affairs. Educational matters commanded his especial interest, however, and at one time he served as school director for six years in succession. Socially, he was identified with the well-known order of the Patrons of Husbandry.
