Those Time: the days when oxteams were parted on 'the public square.and the realdences, were mostly crude shacks. It was inevitable that the young Indiana couple should be pioneers. That was in their blood. They were a son and a daughter - of .men and women who helped to tame a fron- tier-who had left peaceful life in Pennsylvania to carve out homes in the newly opened region of Ohio.
Mr. Heacock's parents were Quakers. He was born August 22, 1838, In Ma- honing county. Ohio. There were eight boys. aix of whom lived past their elabtieth birthday, and four of whom are still living.
