Notes for Henry Heeter
From a letter written by Henry & Hannah (Vaniman) Heeter to their son Abraham, 18 Dec 1858: "georges wife Leah was confined to her Bed November the 17th By two days of hard Struggle before She had the Baby But she was releaft and put to Bed in a weake condishen Not expected her to Live for several weaks But is up and has got midling Stout again But the Babay was pert tel the 10 of Decembert it took sick and Died wednesday the 15 of the Same month it was a Boy they Named it Henry I can tel you they had a Sollom time of it four weaks we Beried the Baby in the Little Grave yard heer on our Land near Cowgales Leah wanted to come a long and See her Baby Beried So we Rapt her in a Blanket and Sot her in the Carrege and Brought her a Long over and Seemes to mend fast But Lements for her Baby"
His stone in Krisher cemetery reads: Henry, son of Geo. & Leah Heeter, died Dec 14, 1858, age 27 days. (This implies birth on Nov 18, and thus is 1 day earlier for both birth and death than the dates given in the letter quoted above.)
