"Alex. .Peugh located the farm later owned by Albert Heyman. He was' a single man, and kept bachelor's hall for a few years, traveling nine miles through swamps and forests to see Eliza Hutchinson, who afterward became his wife. John Rice, step-father of Thomas and Samuel Junkins, located the farm in 1833, later owned by Phillip Heyman;"

PHILIP W. HEYMANN, a prominent retired agriculturist of Grand Rapids township, Wood county, was born June 22, 1822, in the village of Kaltenholtzhousen, Province of Nassau, Germany. Mr. Heymann received his education in his native land; and, in 1847, came alone to America, the voyage, which occupied fifty-two days, being made in a sailing vessel. He landed at New York with but two dollars in cash, he having loaned a friend on board the vessel some forty dollars, which, by the way, was never returned. In New York, however, Mr. Heymann found a friend of whom he borrowed eight dollars, and with this small sum he was enabled to travel west to Sandusky City, Ohio, from there proceeding to Huron county, where, in Lyme township, he bought on credit a farm of 198 acres, which he improved. In the following year his parents, John G. and Mary (Opperman) Heymann, emigrated to this country, bringing with them the rest of their family, and twenty-five hundred dollars in cash, with which the father bought a farm in Lyme township. Here the parents passed the rest of their pioneer lives, the mother dying in 1872, the father nine years later. They were leading members of the German Reformed Church. Their family numbered ten children, as follows: Jeannette, Anna, Philip W. (our subject), William, George, Henry, John P., Catherine, William F., and Margaret, all yet living except Jeannette, Anna, William and Margaret. When the subject of these lines left the parental roof, in 1852, his father gave him a team and two hundred dollars, and bringing his wife and two children (for in the meantime he had married) Philip came to Wood county, settling on his present farm of 16o acres in .Weston (now Grand Rapids) township, at that time all unim-

Their first home in this wild spot was a little log cabin, with neither doors nor windows, and from this humble beginning Mr. Heymann has evolved a valuable estate, having ditched and tiled it thoroughly, planted thereon a fruitful orchard, and erected commodious and comfortable buildings. He and his worthy wife reared their family of children well, and helped each to secure nice homes, Mr. Heymann preferring to do so during his lifetime, and when his children really needed such aid, to allowing them to wait until his death, at which time the property would be divided up, though, it may be added, he has still a good residue to leave. He mow enjoys a well-earned leisure, leaving to others the active work of his estate. On October 9, 1849, Philip W. Heymann was married at Sandusky City to Miss Mary Morehead, who was born October 9, 1832, a daughter of George Morehead, one of the early settlers of Huron county, born in January, 1795, in Harrison county, W. Va. When a mere boy of seventeen Mr. Morehead enlisted under Gem. Harrison in the struggle of that day with the British and Indians along the Maumee river, but was taken ill and sent home. He married Miss Charity Pattom, and by her had three children: Mary (Mrs. Heymann), Emily (wife of Joseph Morris, of Nebraska), and Andrew J. (a prominent resident of Huron county). Mr. and Mrs. Heymann have had five children: (1) Louisa, born August 18, 185o, married to William Ross, of Weston township. (2) G. Albert, born November 5, 1851, is a farmer of Grand Rapids township; he married Sarah Dull, who died December 11, 1888, the mother of four children; G. Albert afterward married Mrs. Jennie Pratt, a widow, and by her has one son. (3) Lester W., born August 17, 1857, is also a farmer in Grand Rapids township; he married Stella Roland, and has four children. (4) Anna L., born August 18, 1859, died at the age of eighteen; and (5) Flora May, born March 14, 1862, is the wife of J. F. McKee, a prominent resident of Grand Rapids township. Mr. Heymamm is one of the most intelligent and progressive citizens of his locality, and by his integrity, geniality and good judgment has won the friendship and esteem of a wide circle of acquaintances. He has been school director for a number of years, and is a ready and generous promoter of any worthy cause. In politics he was originally a Democrat, afterward becoming a Republican, but of late years has been a stanch Prohibitionist. In Germany he served in the German army four years. Ever liberal supporters of the United Brethren in Christ, he and his good wife are unceasing in their works of philanthropy and charity, and none stand higher in the estimation of the community in which they live.
