GEORGE F. HEINDEL.

George F. Heindel has been a successful representative of the legal fraternity
in Ottumwa for the past twenty-three years, enjoying an extensive and lucrative
clientage. His birth occurred in Gratiot, Wisconsin, on the 27th of August,
1869, his parents being Lewis W. and Emma F. (Rodolf) Heindel. The father was
born in Lafayette county, Wisconsin, in 1842, and was there reared and educated.
Subsequently he prepared for a business career and engaged in merchandising. He
is now a merchant and banker of South Wayne, Wisconsin, and one of the prominent
and influential business men of that city. His wife, likewise a native of
Lafayette county, Wisconsin, is a daughter of J. C. F. Rodolf, who was born in
Switzerland. They became the parents of seven children, five of whom survive, as
follows: George F., of this review; Marcus L., who follows farming in Wisconsin;
Wilfred L., who is engaged in the mercantile business in Wisconsin; Roy L., also
a resident of Wisconsin, and Sydney C., living in Atlanta, Georgia.

George F. Heindel received his preparatory mental training in the primary
schools of his native county and in the high school of Warren, Illinois. He next
entered the University of Wisconsin at Madison, in which institution lie pursued
a three years' collegiate course and which conferred upon him the degree of LL.
B. in 1891. In August of that year he located in Ottumwa, Iowa, and began the
practice of his chosen profession. He was associated with W. A. Work from 1892
until 1894, and the following four years were spent in partnership with E. E.
McElroy. During the past sixteen years he has been alone in the general practice
of law and has been accorded a most gratifying clientage. His success in a
professional wav affords the best evidence of his capabilities in this line. Pie
is a strong advocate with the jury, and concise in his appeals before the court.
Much of the success which has attended him in his professional career is
undoubtedly due to the fact that in no instance will he permit himself to go
into court with a case unless lie has absolute confidence in the justice of his
client's cause. Basing his efforts on this principle, from which there are far
too many lapses in professional ranks, it naturally follows that he seldom loses
a case in whose support he is enlisted.

On the 8th of November, 1894, Mr. Heindel was united in marriage to Miss Emma
Reinhardt, a native of Ottumwa, this county, and a daughter of Henry and Mary
Elizabeth (Kleine) Reinhardt. They now have three children, namely: Mary
Frances, a high-school student; Dorothy Annetta, and Helen Martha.

Mr. Heindel gives his political allegiance to the democracy and takes an active
interest in party work and organization. He is a member of the Commercial Law
League of America and also belongs to the Wapello Club, while fraternally he is
identified with the Masons, the Modern Woodmen of America and the Royal Arcanum.
His religious faith is that of the Methodist church. His ideals of citizenship
are high, and in the relations of life which are of a more strictly social
character he has displayed qualities which have rendered him popular wherever he
is known.
