Fred H. Heiman. Although Fred H. Heiman, a successful farmer of Deepwater 
township, is what we might call a newcomer to Henry County, he has taken his 
place in the civic life of the Montrose community and is fast becoming one of the 
leaders in this section of the county. Endowed with a high mentality, a 
progressive and enterprising spirit which has been further developed by a good 
education, Mr. Heiman is one of the best informed citizens of the county and an 
excellent farmer. Fred H. Heiman was born in Damiansville, Illinois, January 14, 
1868, and is the son of John Herman and Mary (Santel) Heiman, the former of 
whom was a native of Illinois and the latter of Iowa. John Heiman was of German 
descent and followed agricultural pursuits during his entire life. In 1887 he left 
Illinois and went to Ottawa County, Kansas, where for two years he lived on a 
farm near Delphos. In 1889, he went to Woodson County, Kansas, and made this 
county his home until his death in 1908. His widow still resides in Woodson 
County. There are nine living children in the Heiman family: August B., an oil man 
in California; Rosa M., wife of Herman Bruegeman, Woodson county, Kansas; 
Agatha, at home with her mother; Martin, Hooker, Oklahoma; William, Iola, 
Kansas; George A., at home with his mother; Edward N., Woodson County, Kansas; 
John H., of Humboldt, Kansas, and Fred H., subject of this sketch. After receiving 
his education in the Effingham County high school at Altamont, Illinois, Mr. 
Heiman was employed in a retail store for a time. He then became a farmer and 
joined his people in Kansas. He went to Ellis County, Kansas, and taught school 
for twelve terms, in all, eight terms of which were taught in Ellis County, and 
four terms in Woodson County. While teaching, during the latter four terms, he 
followed farming in Woodson County. He came to Missouri in 1903, and rented a 
farm, five miles east of his present place until 1909, at which time he purchased 
his farm of 160 acres south of Montrose in Deepwater township. Mr. Heiman has 
erected splendid improvements on this tract, including a handsome residence of 
eight rooms and pantry, a large barn, forty-eight by forty feet, a granary, 
twenty-six by thirty-four feet, a hog house, eight by twenty-four feet, a sheep 
shed eight by thirty-four feet sufficient to shelter fifty-six head of sheep, a cow 
shed 26 by 28 feet, and silo. Mr. Heiman also raises Duroc Jersey hogs for the 
market. A large windmill on the place pumps a sufficient supply of water. On 
April 4, 1894, Fred H. Heiman and Miss Annie M. Swaters were united in marriage. 
Mrs. Annie M. Heiman is the daughter of John Swaters, a well-to-do resident of 
Deepwater township, and a sketch of whom appears in this volume. Nine children 
have been born to Fred H. and Annie M. Heiman: Regina, wife of John A. Nold, 
northeast of Montrose; Cornelius H., Leo, Martha, Rosa, Ferdinand, Loretta, John, 
Helen, all at home with their parents. Mrs. Regina Nold has two children, Loraine 
and Dorothy Nold. Mr. Heiman is a Democrat and his family are members of the 
Church of the Immaculate Conception at Montrose. He is affiliated with the 
Catholic Mutual Benefit Association and Knights of Columbus.
