THE HEITMAN SIDE

I don't really have much of the Heitman side but what I do have I will share with you. The Heitmans came from some where in Germany then to the USA I do not know when they arrived. The first I found of them was in Breese Clinton Co. Illinois A marriage registration to a Fred Heitman and Eliz Daniel also a census record of 1870. They had three boys Herman William and Bernard. When the boys we very young their father died and they moved to Nebraska where their mother remarried a Wilhelm Schulte. Herman my grandfather moved to Alberta, Canada. While William and Bernard stayed in Nebraska There the two boys married and then moved on with live. In the 1880 Census the three boys were all listed as Schulte but they remained Heitman's. My Grandfather Herman came to the Fishburn area in Southern Alberta, Canada in 1905 There I found him in the Canadian Census of 1906. He was a devoted Catholic and there was no place of worship so the community built a church that is still standing today called St Henry's. In 1915 he married my grandmother Ethel Wedding her and her family had just moved into the country from Idaho. They then had a family of four. John, Ralph, Henry and my mother Rita there was one more her name was Ida she was born in 1938 and died 16 days later. Ida is buried in the St Henry's cemetery along with Herman and Ethel. John died in 1995 Ralph died 2006, Henry died 2007 and Rita died 2000.
