General Notes: Husband - George Heim

---

He was one of the pioneers of the area that became Upper Mahanoy township, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, and in the early records of Northumberland county, we find him paying taxes in 1778. He often traded with the Indians, and was never molested by the Redmen but once, which was a short time before the French and Indian war and the Wyoming massacre. He had sent his family and drove of cattle to Reading, and while all alone the Indians knocked at his door and were admitted. After giving them milk and such food as the early settlers had at that time, a young Indian began flourishing a tomahawk around him, showing what he intended to do, but Mr. Heim arose and with his closed fist knocked him out of the house. After thus disposing of the leader, the rest became his friends, telling him that he had done right.
