WILLIAM GRAHAM HEINER was born April 16, 1845, in Kittanning. His education was received under private tutors and at Dayton Academy, in Armstrong county, and in early manhood he became interested in the lines which have since engaged his attention. In 1864 he started the lumber and oil business. being one of the early operators in the oil fields of Venango, Butler and Armstrong counties. Then for many years he followed general contracting on an extensive scale, erecting the glass works and doing much more in the building up of Ford City, Armstrong county, as well as putting up many houses at Valley Point, Arnold and New Kensington, Pa. The brass bedstead works at Butler, Pa., were also of his construction. Naturally his various transactions led him to interest him- self in local financial institutions, and he still maintains his connection with several banks, though now practically retired from active business. In 1898 he assisted in organizing the First National Bank of Ford City, and was the first president of the institution. After this he went to St. Louis, Mo., and built the town of Valley Park, in that State. After his return, in 1908, he organized the First National Bank of Bruin, Butler Co., Pa., and he is still a director of that bank and of the First National Bank of Parkers Landing. His landed investments in Butler and Armstrong counties comprise several hundred acres. Mr. Heiner has taken sufficient interest in the pub- lic affairs of his county to represent his dis- trict in the Legislature, in which he served two terms, having been first elected in 1876, Mr. Heiner married Belle T. Acheson, of Washington, Pa., daughter of William Ache- son, who was an ironmaster, for many years superintendent of the old Monticello Iron Works, in Armstrong county. He was a and re-elected at the close of his first term. He discharged the duties of his office with the precision and insight into the needs of his constituents which they expected of one of his experience, and did his share in the enactment ' brother of Judge Marcus Acheson, of the of general laws affecting State issues in the United States court, and of Judge Alexander most commendable manner.
Mr: Heiner married Florence Ulan, of Leechburg, Armstrong county, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Harris) Ulan. They have no children. Mr. and Mrs. Heiner at- of Pittsburgh. tend the Methodist Church, in which she holds
membership. He maintains social connection with the Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Heptasophs and Elks.
DANIEL BRODHEAD HEINER was born in Kit- tanning, Dec. 30, 1857, and after availing him- self of the educational advantages of local institutions took a higher course of study at Meadville, Pa., graduating from Allegheny College in 1879. Having decided upon the legal profession, he began reading law with E. S. Golden, of Kittanning, and was admit- ted to the bar in the year 1882, beginning prac- tice immediately thereafter. For a number of years during the earlier part of his career he was engaged principally in public business as the incumbent of various civil positions. In 1886 he was elected district attorney of Arm- strong county, serving as such for six years, two terms of three years each. In 1892 he was chosen to represent his district in Congress, and again had the honor of being reelected, holding the office for two successive terms. In 1897 he received the appointment, under Presi- dent Mckinley, of United States district at- torney, for four years, at the end of which period he was appointed (again by Mckinley) internal revenue collector for the Western dis- trict of Pennsylvania, giving eight years' serv- ice in that capacity. His legal practice has since occupied most of his attention. His principal business interest has been in banking, and he is still a director of the Armstrong County Trust Company and president of the First National Bank of Ford City, his acumen and foresight in financial matters being highly valued by his associates. Fraternally he holds membership in several societies, including the Odd Fel- lows, Knights of Pythias and the Elks.
