When a lad of six years, Mr. Heller's parents moved to Crawford county, Ohio, making tie trip overland. Here the family camped under a large oak tree in the midst of a dense forest while the father and two neighbors erected a log cabin. Here the parents resided until the time of the death of the father at a ripe old age, and here the subject of this sketch was raised. At the breaking out of the war he enlisted in Company C, Forty-ninth Ohio infantry volunteers, and served about three years, participating in many of the great battles of the rebellion, among them Pittsburg Landing, Stone River and Chicamauga, being wounded at the last named place. At the close of the war. he returned to Crawford county, and later, removed to Ogle county, Illinois. In 1871 he settled on a farm in Adams county, and has resided here until the time of his death. November 23, 1868, Mr. Heller was married to Miss Lydia Heller, of Ogle county, Illinois, and to them were born seven children, three dying in infancy. The four surviving are Martha Ellen, Emma Jane, John Franklin and Mary Laura. Mr. Heller was "injured in a cyclone August 1, 1906, while in the home of his daughter in South Dakota. At first the injuries were not thought to be serious, and for several days he gained strength; but later it was deemed wise to bring him home, where he arrived just a few hours previous to his death. He was well known in the vicinity of Nodaway, where he had resided for over thirty-five years. The funeral services were conducted from the Methodist church, of which deceased was a member, by Rev; J. E Coe, on Saturday of last week,under the auspices of the G. A.R. and W. R. C, the Grand Army burial ceremony being used at the grave. A large concourse, of people attended the funeral. Adams County Free Press, August 22, 1906, page 1
