    From Floyd's History of Northumberland County:
    John W Heck, son of Samuel, was born in Maryland, and coming to
    Pennsylvania located at Mount Pleasant, Schuylkill county, where he owned the
    hotel for a number of years. He sold out the business about two years before
    his death, and thereafter followed butchering. He died suddenly, at the age of
    forty-three years. To him and his wife Rebecca (Hartlein) were bornseven sons,
    only two of whom survive: Francis (who is in the wholesale flour business at
    Shamokin, Pa.) and John W.

    John W. Heck, son of John W. and Rebecca (Hartlein) Heck, was born in 1859
    at Mount Pleasant, Schuylkill Co., Pa.He was brought to Northumberland county
    when six years old, and grew up in Shamokin township, where he attended the
    public schools until he reached the ageof fourteen years. etc...
