We didn't encounter any of the hardships our early ancestors faced in their journey from Pennsylvania to the wilds of early 1800 Waterloo County, but it did seem almost as difficult for us to leave family and friends in Kitchener as it must have been for our ancestoral pioneers to leave their family and friends in Pennsylvania. |

 His son, Frank Jr., of Aiken, South Carolina, U.S.A., related to me that he was quite young at the time, but he was with his father when the "FAMILY CREST" was located at a 'HECKENDORN FURNITURE CO.' which he believes to have been in a city in Austria but, because of the time span and the amount of travelling they did, he is not completely positive, it may have even been in Switzerland. A plaster cast was made of the original crest which was imprinted on a pewter plate and mounted on a wall in the entrance of the 'HECKENDORN FURNITURE CO.' It eventually was brought to the United States when Mr. Heckendorn and family returned from his tour of duty with the U.S. Armed Forces. I'D LIKE TO THANK FRANK HECKENDORN JR., FOR ISSUING HIS PERMISSION TO PRESENT THE "HECKENDORN FAMILY CREST" WITHIN THESE PAGES. This crest is also featured in the genealogy work, "THE HECKENDORN-HECKATHORN FAMILY HISTORY IN AMERICA 1736-1982" By Theodore A. Heckathorne of Washington State, USA. Frank Heckendorn Jr., tells me...................................... "that Heckendorn being a German word, translates to..... a thorn on a Hecken Rose." |

In 1969, I decided to venture into my own Design and Installation business in London and surrounding areas. We eventually opened a garden centre in London and were fortunate in purchasing the 97 acre main nursery farm of my former employer. This provided us with a substantial source of material and the company expanded quite rapidly, both in retail and wholesale sales, plus landscaping and maintenance services. Unfortunately, quality seasonal staff, which was always a problem, was becoming more difficult to hire with each year. This gave us sufficient reason in 1977, to accept an "offer to purchase" on our farm property. We decided to close out the company operation completely at that time, selling most assets to other nurseries. It was time for me to make another career change! I had been approached to join a new, local mobile catering company and I accepted a franchise for north-east London. For the next 11 years I was known as "the jolly caterer" to all my customers. Colleen always enjoyed working with children and having raised our "5 H's", she felt she would like to offer daycare service at our home for preschool children. She continues to still do this today, on a much reduced scale. In 1981, we made a move into the mobile disc jockey profession on a part-time basis, working mainly Saturday evenings playing venues with a more 'mature clientele' that enjoyed dancing and listening to "Music Of The Big Bands" and of "The Fabulous Fifties", our music.......the Music of Our Life! The mobile catering run during the week afforded me a great many contacts for numerous functions over the years, so that in 1988 I was able to leave it and go "full time"..... as a professional mobile disc jockey, specializing in weddings and corporate functions. Along with this, I also did a Sunday 6:00 a.m. to noon radio show with an out-of-town station featuring "The Music Of Your Life" format, until I eventually couldn't handle working both jobs with only 3 hours of sleep between 'gigs'. After a severe illness in late 1990, I was "put out to pasture" by my health advisers and joined the ranks of the 'Retired Citizens of Canada'. Having joined the Canadian Disc Jockey Association in 1986 and holding various executive positions both nationally and locally since, I was awarded by the National Executive Board in January 1994, an HONOURARY LIFE MEMBERSHIP within the Canadian Disc Jockey Association. This honour has only been given to five other members in the 22 year history of this National Association. I've continued to stay quite active with them, even beyond my retirement, both as a chapter executive and a regional administrative assistant. This, along with being a novice woodcarver belonging to a local senior's woodcarving club, keeps me occupied and out of mischief....... most of the time. *VI. KIMBERLY DAWN HECKENDORN, b. K-W Hospital Kitchener, Ont. m. Allan 'Dale' VAN ALLEN 09 Sept. 1978, London, Ont. s/o Harry and Greta Van Allen, Kemptville, Ont. Children,2. *VII. Dana Blake VAN ALLEN, enrolled at A.B.Lucas Secondary School, grade 12 in London. Plans on attending Carleton University, Ottawa Journalism Course upon graduation. Enjoys working part-ime at our local library, along with her part-time cashier job at a local food market and after just gaining her drivers licence, looks forward to "cruisin' in their gold beast. *VII. Nicholas Tristan VAN ALLEN, enrolled in grade 10 at A.B.Lucas Secondary School. Lover of pets, especially his cockatoo, lizards and hampsters. Has been a real help to his grandpa (that's me) around the yard this past while. Nick plays a 'mean guitar'. *Kim was 9 years old when the family moved from Kitchener to London and this meant being uprooted from her school, Forest Hill Public, where she had developed friendships that would carry on into her present adult life. She finished her elementary schooling at Northridge Public, went on to graduate from A.B.Lucas Secondary School, secured her B.A. majoring in Political Science at the University of Western Ontario, London, in June 1981 and later returned to work on her M.D., Doctor of Divinity and be ordained into the priesthood of the Anglican Church of Canada. Her working experience started, as many young girls had, at babysitting, then went on to gain general knowledge of 'dealing with the public' by working at the family garden centre. She met Dale while both attending U.W.O.. After her marriage, she was employed with Simpson Dept. Store in their credit department until moving to Bell Canada where she eventually became a manager of the Network Provisioning Dept., responsible for a sizeable departmental budget. When Bell Canada 'downgraded' their staff in the mid-ninties, Kim accepted a 'buyout package' and returned to U.W.O. to enter Huron College, Anglican Seminary, graduating in May 1997. Rev. Kim's very first wedding ceremony that she performed was for her brother Brock and his bride Bettina, on June 21, 1997. She is now completing her third year charge as Assistant Curate at New St.Paul's Anglican Church in Woodstock, Ont. As of Feb.1, 2000, Kim will have her own congregations and will be moving to the village of Ilderton. *VI. KEVIN BROCK HECKENDORN,b. K-W Hospital, Kitchener,Ont., m. Lotus WHY, 01 August 1985 b. South Africa, attended A.B.Lucas Secondary School, London, Ont.. Children, 1. *VII. Katya Suzanne Hu HECKENDORN, b. Toronto, Ont. a very artistic little girl and the "apple of her grammie and grandpappy's eye". *Kevin was a 'natural' at most athletics he participated in. As a youngster, he played 'competitive' hockey and baseball within the Stoneybrook Sports Association in north London. He also worked at the family landscape maintenance business while at at A.B.Lucas Secondary School, where he participated in hockey, football, basketball and drama. After touring Europe and later Australia and parts of Asia, he received his B.F.A., Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Western Ontario. Kevin was impressed with the Asian methods of 'Alternative Medicine' and moved to Toronto to attend the School of Shiatsu for 3 years, where he graduated as a Shiatsu therapist and was Validictorian for his graduating class. After having joined an Alternative Medicine clinic in Toronto for a number of years, Kevin and Lotus decided to return to London when Katya was two years of age. They located in Wortly Village section of 'old south' London where Kevin established his own clinic. Teaching has become an important part of his work-life these past few years and he mixes this along with his therapy treatments. Not only does he instruct in Shiatsu, but teaches Tia Chi also to numerous students, including his mother. Lotus has become quite an artisan, working in pottery. She shared a studio with a friend for some time, but is now on her own and also working at U.W.O. *VI. Duane Howard HECKENDORN, b. K-W Hospital, Kitchener. m. Lynda HURAS, d/o Len and Joanne Huras of London, July 09, 1988. Children,1. *VII. Graham Stuart HECKENDORN, b. London, Ont., Grammie and grandpa Heckendorn just can't get enough of him. He's Duane reincarnated. Haven't decided if that's good or bad as yet. Now Graham is waiting for a 'new' brother or sister. *Duane attended Northridge Public School and A.B.Lucas Secondary School in London. Upon graduation he attended Sir Wilfred Laurier University 1981-82 in Waterloo, Ont., and then completed his education at London's Fanshawe College. As a younster, Duane participated in high school football and Stoneybrook Sports Association sponsored hockey and also worked in the family business. As an adult, he enjoyed playing recreational "Slowpitch" ball and hockey along with some rugger. He was my hunting companion for a few winters, using cross country skis, while I trudged along on my snowshoes. Duane is a Data Analyst with Bell Canada since college graduation and he lives with his family in south-east London. Woodworking has always been an exceptional hobby and his handywork can be viewed throughout their home from kitchen, to family room, to the outdoor deck and storage sheds he's built. It's often said,"that talents skip generations", and in our family, the talent of using one's hands to create furniture and remodel homes etc., bypassed me completely, but clearly settled on my sons. *VI. BROCK NELSON HECKENDORN, b. St. Mary's Hospital, Kitchener, m. Bettina BROSS, d/o Werner and Hilda Bross of Sarnia, 21 July 1997, and brought 1 child with her into this union, her son Randy Bross. *Brock had his education at Northridge Public School and A.B.Lucas Secondary School, completing it at Fanshawe College. He is employed by Bell Canada as a Fibre Optics and Computer Analyst. Brock played 'select' hockey within the Stoneybrook Sports Association as a youngster and now for recreation, he enjoys playing "pickup hockey" with his brother Kevin, sometimes Duane, and a few of the boys each Saturday evening during the winters. He has operated his own framing business for many years, putting that finishing touch to many lovely works of art and has done photography over the years as a hobby with some of his works being exhibited locally. He and his family live in 'Old North London' in a home that he completely gutted and rebuilt, with a little assistance from various trades people. *VI. SHAUN PATRICK HECKENDORN, b. St. Joseph's Hospital, London, Ont. The only true Londoner in the family. As a youngster, Shaun like his brothers before him, played baseball and hockey within the Stoneybrook Sports Association and basketball while in public school at Northridge. Shaun attended A.B.Lucas S.S., where he played on their Conference football teams and spent a week at the 'Michigan State University Football School' at Lansing, Michigan. After transfering to Montcalm High School for his Senior year, he was co-captain of their Senior Conference football team. He graduated from Fanshawe College twice, once from the Heating and Refrigeration Course and and later from their Kinesiology Course. Shaun is into bodybuilding, but not to the extreme. He has 'worked out' at various gyms over the years and I would suggest that this is his main hobby. Between years at Fanshawe College, he operated his own business doing custom deck and fence building. A sample of his workmanship can be viewed at G.T.'s Patio Bar on the beach at Port Stanley, Ont. Their multilayered deck was a summer project of his a few years ago. Shaun is now employed with the St. Leonard Society, working with 'clients' and at their halfway homes. He enjoys the bachelor lifestyle, and his 'buddy' Major, his female boxer. Major would come to our home for her "sleepovers" with Chance, Brock's 12 year old German Shepherd who has lived with us since 6 months of age, loves when we go for our strolls in the Arva park woodlands. Chance has become my personal 'shadow', always by my side. Major passed away this fall due to a heart attack. *IV. WILMER HECKENDORN, b. 21 Feb. 1913, Waterloo Twsp.(Breslau) m. Jean SHOEMAKER 06 Nov. 1943 West Montrose, Woolwich Twsp., Ont. b. 24 Feb. 1923 West Montrose. Children, 2. *Wilmer was the youngest of Moses and Amanda's family and was also born on the home farm near Breslau. As a youth he attended the Breslau Public School west of the farm. This ummer while Colleen and I were visiting, he related to us as to how much he enjoyed running across the back fields on the farm, down to the railroad tracks to watch the steam engines climb the long inclinement from the village below. He compared them to the "little train that could" of storybook fame, "I think I can, I think I can" each puff of smoke seemed to say. In his teen years, Wilmer played hockey for the Breslau Tigers Hockey Club along with such notable area names as Cecil Mader, Harold Dedels, Ira Zeller and the Reinhart Brothers. Wilmer went on to drive milk truck for his brother Clarence for a few years until starting his own milk trucking operation. In those days, milk was picked up at the farm in individual milk cans, hoisted up onto the truck by hand and stacked two high. These cans when full could each weigh as much as 70 pounds or more. Today the milk is pumped automatically through large hoses into the trucks stainless steel holding tank. No more back-breaking lifting. Wilmer joined Clarence in opening a gravel business with pits at Marden north-east of Guelph and when Clarence moved on to the Simcoe region, Wilmer joined the Department of Transportation as an equipment operator until his retirement in 1978. They have enjoyed retirement completely, taking in many stage performances in Toronto and regionally. He and Jean joined the Y,M,C,A, in Kitchener, both being avid exercisers in their twilite years, a possible explanation for their longevity and youthful exuberance. Jean, born and raised on her mother's family (Letson) home-farm, attended the West Montrose village school just down the road from their farm and went on to finish her secondary schooling at Elmira District High School where she also took a one year business course after completing her grade 13 year. After graduation, she was employed at the Mutual Life of Canada for two years prior to her marriage. They stayed, to live on the Letson family farm, along with her dad George Shoemaker, until his passing. Jean's mother had passed away after a lengthy illness when Jean was quite young. Wilmer and Jean have done a lot of remodeling to their old field-stone home over the years and just recently completed renovating their two car garage. I believe they plan on being around for some time yet. Jean continues to display her effervescent personality that we all have gotten to love so well. *V. SHARON LYNN HECKENDORN, b.Kitchener, m. Ronald William DUSKOCY 11 May 1974, Elmira, Ont., b. Kitchener, Ont. Sharon grew up in West Montrose and attended Elmira District High School completing her grade 12 in Commercial. She has been employed with Home Hardware Ltd., at St. Jacobs in the office, for many years . Dad used to enjoy his little meetings with Sharon when he would make his sales presentations to the company buyers.Her husband Ron was raised on a farm near Linwood and attended high school in Elmira also where he took the technical and trades courses. Apprenticing in automotive mechanics, he is a classified Class 'A' diesel mechanic. Both enjoy bowling, snowmobiling and Ron is an avid hunter. Their home is in Elmira. Children, 2. VI. CHRISTOPHER LEE HECKENDORN, b. VI. JASON ANDREW HECKENDORN,b. V. BRIAN LEE HECKENDORN, b. Kitchener, m. Julie Michelle FOERSTER, 28 May 1977, Elmira, Ont., b. Kitchener. Brian also grew up in West Montrose, attending Elmira Distric High School through grade 12 where he met Julie. He has been employed in the turkey industry for some years now, travelling around to various suppliers farms. Julie is a real estate agent in Elmira and they live on the same street as Sharon and Ron. Brian was quite a participant in minor hockey as a youth and is quite interested in sports. Both enjoy watersking, boating and snowmobiling. Brian is keenly interested in woodworking. Julie, very kindly drove Wilmer and Jean to London in 1996, to attend our 40th Wedding Anniversary party. Children, 2. VI, MICHAEL SEAN HECKENDORN b. Kitchener VI. AMY JEAN HECKENDORN b. A TRIBUTE TO MY PARENTS Lovingly remembered, by daughter Louella Heckendorn. Following their marriage, they (Moses and Amanda) moved to Maryborough township in Wellington County where they farmed for nine years. Daughters Arclista, Louella and Alta were born there. In January of 1901, father and mother left Ontario for Huron County, Michigan where a farm had been purchased near the village of Pigeon. This was comparably new country and the land had to be cleared. Lumbermen with large two-wheeled carts hauled the logs out of the woods. To complete clearing operations father used dynamite to blast out the remaining stumps. When moving to Michigan, father accompanied the freight-car containg the family possession and some farm animals, including their dog Charlie. Mother followed some weeks later, travelling by train with her three little girls. Enroute the girls became ill and were diagnosed as having diptheria. Fortunately mother had an uncle "Balzar Otterbein" living at Port Huron, Michigan. After four days of intese suffering, Arclista died. She was six years of age. Being under quarantine no funeral could be held. In the midst of a cold , blustery day she was laid in a lonely grave in a Port Huron Cemetery. A telegram sent to father which was written with pencil on a lined sheet of paper is in good condition and in possession of the family. Mother and father were converted and united with the Mennonite church in the early years of their marriage. When in Michigan they worshipped with the Mennonite congregation located in Berne one and a half miles east of their farm. For two years father and two neighbours, Andrew Schaaf and Henry Kretchmer conducted a Sunday School service on Sunday afternoons in the Quarry schoolhouse one and a half miles west of their farm, for the families of the Stone Quarry employees. Automobiles made their first appearance in the area when a prominent Pigeon business man purchased one. The sound of the chug chugging coming up the road gave us ample time to run for the farm gate to watch the new, strange, horseless carriage pass by. Four members of the family, Ian, Seleda, Pearl and Clarence were born in Michigan. The ties of family and friends in Canada remained strong and after eleven years they left their fine farm, with it's large frame house and good barn and returned to Ontario. They bought a farm located at Breslau where they farmed for twenty-seven years. Two sons, Nelson and Wimer were born here. Although a lover of nature and ardent tiller of the soil, age and failing health and strength made it necessary for father to retire. They left their beautiful farm in may, 1938 to move into the village of Breslau where they resided until they died, father in 1944 and mother in 1958. * Luella continued to live at the family home as she had for many, many years and maintained a bountiful, lovely garden. She passed away in October of 1985 at St. Mary's Hospital in Kitchener. Louella will be sorely missed by her many nieces, nephews and their children that knew her, family, friends and those children that she helped to raise in so many families throughout the years.. Aunt Luella was the catalyst that held the family together for all those many years after the passing of her parents. Lovingly, Nephew, Howard R. Heckendorn. III.
