Old Landmarks of Canton and Stark County, Ohio, Edited and Compiled by John Danner; Logansport, Indiana; B. F. Bowen, Publisher; 1904; p487.
Of Mrs. Sarah Heckman, who co-operated with her mother in supplying the subject matter for this sketch and memoir, it is but consistent that more specific mention be made in these concluding paragraphs. She was born in Lehigh county, Pennsylvania, and was reared to maturity in the old Keystone state, her educational discipline being secured in the schools of Adamstown and of Lebanon county, and during the greater portion of her early years she devoted the major portion of her time to assisting in the household duties of her home. She accompanied her parents on their removal to Canton, in 1847, and here, on the 13th of November 1859, she was united in marriage to John Heckman, a native of Canton, having been born in the parental homestead at the corner of Cherry and East Tuscarawas streets, on the 19th of April, 1838, a son of John and Elizabeth (Houtz) Heckman, the former of whom was born in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, whence he made the trip to Ohio on horseback in the early pioneer days, remaining a short time and then returning to Pennsylvania. A few years later he again came to Ohio, and located in Canton, where was solemnized his marriage to Elizabeth Houtz, who was born on the old Houtz farm, a portion of which is now within the city limits of Canton, the family having settled here in a very early day. John Heckman, Jr., was reared in Canton, where he had such educational advantages as were afforded by the common schools of the day, and here he learned the trade of chairmaker and painter, to which he devoted his attention until about 1890, having been successful in his efforts and being known as one of the worthy and honored citizens of his native place. He is now living retired from active business. In politics he accords an unequivocal support to the Republican party. Mr. and Mrs. Heckman had two children, both of whom are dead, William Alfred and Leonard Harvey, the former dying at the age of fourteen and the latter at the age of six years.
