   Among the representative citizens of Jefferson township, Carroll county,
Indiana, is Isaac Heiny, a retired farmer who enjoys the admiration and respect,
in no small degree, of his neighbors ana fellow citizens. As a self-made man he

lived at home with his parents until November 28, 1869, when he was married to
Mahala Gates, a daughter of Roderick and Sarah Gates, both of whom were devout
members of the Brethren church. Mr. Gates was a Democrat in politics.

   As the fruit of their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Heiny have had two children,
Thyrza and Fannie Learn. Thyrza attended school at Angola, Indiana; she is a
stenographer, and lives at home. Fannie Learn is the wife of Carl Metz and has
borne him one daughter, Mary Isabelle.

from active farming; but continued to live on the farm. He has a host of friends
in Jefferson township, but is quite well known throughout Carroll county.
