Jackson township, Kosciusko county, Indiana, furnished a home for many a pioneer who settled within its boundaries with no capital save the intelligence and physical abilities that were the gifts of his Maker and later attained a competency and a position of influence in the locality in which he chose to reside that, in after years, redounded in an enviable reputation for himself and his descendants; among these old and honored pioneers is Solomon Heeter, who was born in Montgomery county, Ohio, November 22, 1829. David and Elizabeth (Hay) Heeter, parents of Solomon, were natives of Pennsylvania, of German descent, and from that state they migrated to Ohio about the year 1808, and there, in the interminable forests of Montgomery county, entered a tract of most unpromising land. This David in due course of time, by hard labor and perseverance, such as were usual in the backwoods in those early days, cleared up from the growth of superfluous timber and erected the typical log cabin of the period, in which many a happy hour was passed, notwithstanding the incessant care and labor that were necessary to develop a home that eventually proved to be a source of comfort and satisfactory profit. After his marriage to Miss Hay, whose parents were natives of Virginia, David Heeter purchased forty acres of land in Montgomery county, Ohio, and deep in the forest, which he partially cleared and here, in a little log cabin, he lived for several years. He then sold it and bought a tract of one hundred acres nearer Dayton city, to which he later added eighty acres, but in 1853 again sold out and came to Indiana, locating in Wabash county, where he bought a farm of one hundred and seventy acres in Chester township, near North Manchester, on which he lived until the opening of the Civil war. Then he bought a small place near East Manchester, where he began the erection of a fine brick dwelling, but died before its completion; his widow, however, occupied the house for eight years. To the marriage of David and Elizabeth (Hay) Heeter were burn eight children, viz: Solomon, Jonathan. Silas, Samuel, Abner, Barnet, Franklin Marion and Harriet, of whom five are still living. Solomon Heeter was reared on his father's farm and faithfully aided in its cultivation until he was twenty-five years old, and then worked at chopping corn-wood at twenty-five cents per cord and at splitting rails at twenty-five cents per hundred. March 31, 1853, Mr. Heeter was united in marriage with Miss Catherine A. Mause, who was born in Maryland November 26, 1829, of German parentage. From Maryland the Mause family removed to Montgomery county, Ohio, where Catherine A. became acquainted with Mr. Heeter. In 1855 Solomon Heeter and his young wife came to Indiana, and in Wabash county Mr. Heeter purchased a farm of eighty acres, to which he added another eighty-acre tract, and there made his home until 1887, when he brought his family to Jackson township, Kosciusko county, where he purchased eighty acres near the place on which he now lives. He has prospered and now owns four hundred and forty acres in Kosciusko and Wabash counties. He is an excellent manager and has realized a competence through raising grain in large quantities and in breeding live stock. The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Heeter has been blessed with six children, viz: Silas W., born March 8. 1855. married Miss Maria Swanks and lives in Wabash county; John F., born September 14. 1856, married Eliza Yant, and also lives in Wabash county; Warren E., born August 18, 1858, married Mary Pauling, now deceased, and lives in the state of Washington ; Hiram I., born July 9, 1860, married Prude Kitterman and lives in Wabash county: David E., born October 15, 1863, died July 19, 1865; and Charles Webster, born April 15, 1867, married Carrie Knoop, and is also a resident of Wabash county, Indiana. Mr. Heeter is a Democrat in his political proclivities, but has never been strongly partisan nor has he ever put himself forward as an office seeker. He is, however, a public-spirited citizen and a whole-souled man, ever ready to help forward any work designed for the public good. He has done much toward bringing Jackson to the front among the sisterhood of townships of Kosciusko county, and is recognized by all as one of its most useful citizens and is consequently greatly honored and respected. Fraternally he is a member of the Knights of Honor at North Manchester.
