NOAH HECKENDORN b. 22 October 1871 d. 29 June 1953. * I have copies of letters written by Noah to his brother Moses (my Grandfather) living near Berne, Michigan, dated July 3, 1906 through March 15, 1908. At that time, Noah was living in Tacoma, Washington and listed his residences as "The St. Paul Hotel" and also "1340 Commarce Street". These may have been one in the same or two different locations, I've unsure at this time. He states in his first letter of July 1906, that he arrived in Tacoma in February of that year and really enjoys it "all though it rains quite a bit" and "I am sorry about that I did not come out here when I first came to Michigan". He states that he, "is working for a sawmill that employs 800 to 1200 men", has "85 head of horses that are the cream of the country" and "turns out 500,000 board feet of lumber every 20 hours". His wages when he first started, for piling lumber, were $1.75 per day; he then went to driving horse teams and was paid $1.90 per day with an increase by the middle of the month to $2.00 per day. Within a month, he received increased wages again to $2.10 and by the middle of May was earning $2.20 per day. By the first of June, he says he was up to $2.40 per day and put in twenty-nine days at 7 1/2 hours per day. Unfortunately, he had to take three and a half days off in July to rest his feet that were "sore and blistered from walking on the hard planking". He tells Moses, "compare it to, open your barn doors and let the sun shine in and then walk back and forth from 7 o'clock in the morning till 6 at night and keep that up for a month or two". In a letter dated Feb. 24, 1907, he writes "that I saw your Brother about three weeks ago in Tacoma and I was up to his place for dinner and he told me that they was going east next summer, that is if he can sell his house and lots where he lives now. Mr. Otterbein is doing pretty good out here he owns 3 lots and two houses. He told me that I was to send you his address when I wrote to you so here it is #4137 on 43 and South M street Tacoma Wash." I believe he is referring to a brother- in-law of Moses, a brother to his wife Amanda (Otterbein) Heckendorn. Further into the letter, he says that he "cleaned up $400.00 last year and expects to do better this year". In speaking of the weather, he tells Moses that, "since last Nov. it rained fron 2 to 3 days in a week till the last of Dec. and the first of Feb, during that time we had a little snow. We had two snow falls of about six inches but it did not last long, from 2 to 3 days and the coldest was ten above zero for three or four mornings and this month from the 6th was nice and warm and the grass is green again". Also in this letter, he mentions that he and his younger brother Isreal are rooming together for now and that Isreal "is working as a longshoreman, which is very steady work and he gets good pay. When he does work he gets 30 cts per hour and time and a half for overtime". As an after thought, Noah included the following footnote, "Watch Tacoma Grow, Population in 1900....37,000 1907....85,000......That is growing some!" In the last letter of his that I have to Moses, dated March 15, 1908, Noah speaks of the rainy weather, which had been quite heavy and continuous that spring but, he also once again makes the statement, "I can tell you right now that I am not sorry that I come out here". It would seem that there must have been an economic or financial depression or recession that fall of 1907, as he makes mention of "i guess that money question last fall effected you as well as us out here. All the logging camps were shut down and a lot of the mills; they made a cut in wages of 20%, but they are gradually coming back again". He goes on to say, "the month of Feb. was the smallest check that I had for 18 months, that was $37.42 and board". He also comments that his brother Isreal who is driving truck for the "City Transfer and Storage Co." was earning"$70.00 per month all winter, but he is got to work a hole lot harder then I do". These letters give us a little insight into the living and working conditions, of the early 1900's in north-western United States. What a difference in era's between those early 1900's and now, soon to be going into the "new millinium" in 2001. III. EZRA HECKENDORN b. 23 March 1874, died same day. III. SUSANNAH HECKENDORN b. 26 June 1875 d. 8 November 1967, m. John Brubaker 4 January, 1901, b. 23 October 1875 d. 27 January 1961. After their marriage they lived in Iowa where his parents had homesteaded. While the soil and farming was good, the storms and cyclones were unpredictable. After eleven years of pioneering they moved to Snyder County , Pennsylvania. Here John was ordained as a minister. For a number of years he preached in Maryland. On their retirement they moved back to Pennsylvania and spent their last years with their daughter and son-in-law Mr. and Mrs. Paul Landis who lovingly cared for them. * I received a note awhile back from a Mr. Milton S. Haldeman, who states that he now lives in the former Landis home at 410 Hahnstown Road, Ephaata, PA., where Susannah and her husband John Brubaker lived out their last years with their daughter Amanda and her husband Paul Graybill Landis. Mr. Haldeman also included copies of some pages from the "Heckendorn Family History and Genealogy" that this brief, the "Heckendorn Family of Canada" is based upon and also some copies of "Veronica Deppen Heckendorn Branch". I'd like to acknowledge with "thanks", for his interest, in contacting me and including this information. And now.....on with the family line of Susannah and John Brubaker. IV.

A FAITHFUL TRIBUTE From her devoted Grandchildren June 23, 1960 Once upon a time there lived a little girl in Canada. Her last name was heckendorn and her first was Susannah I don't understand but I know it was sad That she had to work for others as a maid, With fist and mouth they never let her shirk. JUST LIKE CINDERELLA- The real daughter was best and first always While granny had to work hard all day. Then one day she met her Prince Charming, an Iowan. His last name was Brubaker, and his first was John. After that life was not the same. it was love at first sight, but he had to go back So they courted by letter, the third did the work. "Susannah dear, if you agree, bring your things and I will marry thee." This made her heart sing. For John, she was a good wife, brave, meek and true Through work and trouble and joy and trial Sussanh raised him many a child, and worked long days for she was strong, and brave through all when he was sick And meek when he was strong and quick. The times were not easy and life was not play, They moved to Pa. to see a better day. They bought a farm and the children grew, they married and left and bought homes too. A sweet little child, a baby boy, they yielded to God And laid him away to eternal repose. The years go by thru relentless years not much can remain, untouched, untried, unbent, unchanged. But Susannah never qualed, never faltered, never fainted Tho with every phase of life she was closely aquainted As a mother, grandmother and wife. The above was prepared and read at their Grandparents 60th Anniversary. We treasure the memory of Grandmother and Grandfather, and are glad we lived near them. It gave us a special meaning to our lives that will guide us as long as we live.............. Excerpt from a letter written by Granddaughter, Arlene Brubaker III. LYDIANN HECKENDORN, b. 3 September 1877 d. 27 January 1917, m. Fred MULHOLLAND 21 March 1900, b. 1 March 1877 d. 10 May 1959. They lived in the village of Branchton, just south of Galt (Cambridge), Ontario. here they celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary. Not many years later she was ravaged with the dreaded cancer. She put up a valient fight for the sake of their little chosen daughter, but the disease proved fatal. Children, 1. IV. MARGARET MULHOLLAND m. Allen Walker 18 August 1934.

MEMORIES OF GRANDFATHER CHRISTIAN HECKENDORN After Grandfathers marriage to Annie Bearinger, they moved on a farm of 126 acres near Erbsville. It was still mostly forest. He began clearing it and built a frame house (which is still standing - 1971). The barn was built mostly of pine timber. Some of the boards were two and a half feet wide. In the early years of pioneering Grandmother met a bear on her way to the barn. We were always glad to see him come in the lane in his doch weiglie driving Dolly, a stocky brown mare with a white face and a few white socks. Hannah was the youngest grandchild, and remembers how happy she was when she could go with him into the woods to gather bark from different trees, to make medicine. He would boil it down, bottle it and sell it. He had a patent and was known as "The Medicine Man". The medicine was good for Dropsy. She also remembers how kind and jolly he was as a friend to all and especially the children. Hannah and Melvin Snyder. *We will now list what little we have at this time on the fourth son of Jacob and Mary. II.* JACOB M. HECKENDORN b. 01 March 1839 d. ?, m.

ALEDA HECKENDORN no info IV. ELMA HECKENDORN no info III. EMMA HECKENDORN no info III. CLARA HECKENDORN no info III. EDITH HECKENDORN known to lived in St. Jacob's, Ont.(In original HECKENDORN GENEALOGY BOOK 1971, she was last living member of the family @ 84 yr.s of age) * I had the opportunity to visit Martin's Mennonite Cemetery at the north limits of The City of Waterloo and found about ten (10) grave sites of Heckendorn family members. There are also a couple of sites with names so close in spelling that I'm going to try and check their validity of actually being Heckendorn's. One was a Sarah Jane Hackendorn b. March 17, 1869 d. April 15, 1910, and was the wife to an Allen Groff. This would be daughter of Jacob, 4th son of our original Jacob. The only Groff's that I'm presently aware of being in the family, were in the Susannah Heckendorn/John Brubaker line and weren't dated that far back in years. Must do further searching on this line. The other headstone was inscribed as "Infant son of John and Maria Hegerdorn, Born and Died March 23, 1874." Once again, I'm mystified as to why this was a misspelling of the name and am certain it is actually the gravesite for Ezra Heckendorn, son of John and Mary Heckendorn, born and died March 23, 1874. The similarity of dates and parents names are too close not to be Ezra's site. Another gravesite that I wasn't prepared for, nor have any info on at this time, reads "Daniel, son of Jacob and Maria Heckendorn, born 13 December 1847, died 20 September 1867 at the age of 19 years, 9 months and 7 days." Now, son Menno's birth date is listed as 13 January 1847 so this would lead me to believe that one of the birth months of these two is incorrect and that in all probability they were twins. Of course there is a possiblity that the dates are correct, but both being born on the 13th of their noted month is an oddity. Others located within the Martin's Mennonite Cemetery are; our original pioneer ancestors, Jacob and Mary (Miller) Heckendorn, son Christian and his first wife Anna (Beringer) Heckendorn; Menno (son of John and Mary (Huber Good) Heckendorn) and his first wife Lucy Clemmer, these two headstones are quite eroded. Jacob and Mary's son Joseph as previously mentioned; his gravesite is located at the Eby Mennonite Cemetery located at the south-east corner of Erb Street and Hallman-Fischer Road in west Waterloo, along with "infant Heckendorn" and "dau.Heckendorn". Also, John and Mary's daughter Veronica's gravesite is located in the Detweiler Mennonite Cemetery in Roseville, Waterloo County; and John along with his wife Mary, my ggrandparents, are resting in the Cressman Mennonite Cemetery at Breslau where their son, Moses, his wife Amanda (Otterbein), my grandparents, along with their daughters Luella, and Seleda are also resting. Some photos of various headstones will be included within this family history. AND NOW..............we follow the family and descendants of MENNO HECKENDORN.
