General Notes: Husband - Andrew Heffner

---

After passing his earlier manhood on his father's farm, he left home at the age of twenty-two to work for Squire Van Deventer at wagon-making in McConnellstown, Pennsylvania. In a little while he went over to Stone Creek to learn the business of milling, which he followed first at Stone Creek and later at Henry Neff's Green Tree Mills. After his marriage he carried on the McConnellstown mill for six months, and then took what was known as Cresswell's mill, on the river in Porter. After a stay there of three years he occupied successively the mill at Alexandria and Henry Neff's mill, six miles above Petersburg. He left the Neff mill to join his brother Adam in the purchase and conduct of a mill at Shirleysburg. The partnership was dissolved at the end of a year and Andrew removed to near McConnellstown, where he had bought a farm and mill property of Squire McCoy. Thenceforward he devoted himself with unceasing attention to the business of milling and farming and eventually owned two farms and the mill. In his time he held many places of trust in the administration of township affairs, while in his church (German Reformed) he was ever a busy and useful factor. He lost his life by reason of being thrown from a wagon on his farm. He lived five weeks after the accident, but lay helpless constantly until he passed away.
