At an early age the family left Pennsylvania and settled in Ohio, probably Columbiana County. His first marriage was to Rachel Ingledue and to this marriage four children were born. Heston was a minister and highly respected in his church surroundings. He was born into the Quaker religion but at about 20 years of age left the Quaker faith.. Rachel died in July 1856 in Summit Co., Ohio By 1860 Heston had moved to Cedar Co., Iowa, and farmed and preached in the German Reformed Church. On Nov. 11, 1860 he married the widow, Mary Pollock Pearce, whose husband Dennis Pearce had died in 1855 leaving her with 9 children. No children were born to Heston and Mary. His obituary was most impressive, talking about his love for the church, his congregation and how much he was respected by the entire community. Printed Obituary: Heston C. Paxson at his residence, near Tipton, Iowa on the 19th of June, at the ripe age of 79yrs, 4mths, 2days. Bro. Paxson was born in Chester, Pa but moved to Ohio in the early part of his life where he married his first wife, Rachel Englewdow, (Ingledue), by whom he had four children, all of whom survive him. After her death he came to Iowa and married Sister Mary Pearce, who also survives him. Bro. Paxson was raised a Quaker, but when about twenty years old became acquainted with the old Bible Christians, and was united with them, and that gave him more advanced ideas of the Bible truth: but he soon met with our brethren, and followed up the Bible teaching in a more perfect way, of which he was a great admirer until the close of his earthly work. For many years he filled the office of elder in the Rock Creek Congregation, where he last lived, and died beloved by all his neighbors. Surely a good man is lost to the community. By request, the undersigned preached at his funeral, from Isaiah 53. So has passed away one we all loved and respected much. Three of his children are associated with the church in Ohio, and one is connected with the Friends, in Iowa, and the only one that was permitted to be at his bedside when he died. May God keep them all, and unite them in that better land, where there is no death or separation. (signed) Jas. Jennings The funeral occured at the German Reformed Church on the 20Th, Elder Jennings. The attendance was very large and the manifestation of grief unusually touching.
