FREDRICK HEPPE
	Fredrick Heppe dwells about twenty-two miles north from 
Westbranch upon a valuable piece of land where he settled in 1892, the 
property then being unserveyed and wild.  By clearing and other labors,
Mr. Heppe has improved the larger portion of his land into a first class
meadow, which produces above one hundred tons of hay each year.  He has
erected good buildings, as residence, barns, and so forth.  Mr. Heppe
does general farming and handles stock.  He has some very fine
thouroughbred Shornhorn animals and has been very successful in the 
introduction of high grade stock into this country.  He is a substantial
man and a good citizen and one of the prosperous property owners of
Stevens county.  The entier estate manifests in every detail, the thrift,
energy, and skill of its owner.
	Fredrick Heppe was born in Hessen, Germany on January 4, 1846,
the son of Jacob W. and Fredericka W. (Rauer) Heppe, natives of Germany,
where they remained all their lives.  They were the children of the 
following named children: Margreta F., Dora, Henry, Lizzie W., Willimina
and Fredrick.  Our subject was educated in the publice schools of his
native place and remained with his father until nineteen.  In 1886, he 
came to the United States and located in New York, where for seven years
he followed his trade of mason, having become an expert in the business
in the old country.  He traveled from New York to New Jersey and did
contracting and building.  Seven years later he went to Indiana and did 
both mason work and farming for five years, after which he went to 
Missouri and farmed.  Later we find him tilling the soil in Kansas but
as the grasshopppers ate all his crops, he came to Washington in 1881.
He farmed and followed his trade in this state also and nearly all the 
brick and stone work in Cheney, previous to 1892, was his handiwork.
In 1892, Mr. Heppe came to Stevens county and located on his present place
since which time he has devoted himself to farming and stock raising.
	In 1870, Mr. Heppe married Miss Fredricka W., daughter of
Jacob and Mary (Klocksum) Kahsborn, natives of Germany, where they remained
until their death, having been the parents of five children.  To our 
subject and his wife the following named children have been born:
Charley H., in Stevens county; Anna M., wife of William Plum, in Lincoln
county; Fredericka W., wife of T. Penelton, in Lincoln county; William
and Mary, with their parents; Louis W., in Latah, Washington; and Bessie L., 
with her parents.  Mr. Heppe is a good, active Republican and has for 
many years been road supervisor and school director.  He was appointed
forest inspector in 1900, but refused to qualify.  Fraternally, he is 
affilliated with the I.O.O.F. and with the K.O.T.M.  In church relations
Mr. Heppe is a mormon, while his wife belongs to the Presbyterian
denomination.
