For now, despite the age, I think this is the correct John Heck.
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...
