General Notes: Husband - Henry Mark

---

He was born at the old family farm, to which as the sole heir he succeeded at his father's death. During boyhood he attended the neighboring schools regularly in winter. Study was a pleasure to him, mathematics being espe­cially easy, and his progress was rapid in all lines. He never cared to teach, and remained at home, gradually assuming the management of the place.
He and his wife were prominent mem­bers of the United Evangelical Church, and at various times he held every office in the society, class leader and assistant superin­tendent of the Sunday-school.
He was a man of progressive ideas, his farm, which contained 145 acres of good land, showed excel­lent management. All of the buildings, except the barn, were built by him. He was always fond of reading, the information thus gained covering a wide range, and including the varied issues of the day.

General Notes: Wife - Amanda Heckman

She was the eleventh child and youngest daughter in a family of thirteen chil­dren, and as a young girl used to assist her par­ents in the outdoor work of their farm, as was then customary. She was given good educational advantages for that time and locality, as she at­tended the schools of Penn Hall after complet­ing the course offered in the schools of the Heck­man district.
