In 1879, Geer & Co. began to man- ufacture cigars under present firm name, succeeding J. M. Turner. The business was es- tablished in 1873.

Our subject is a strictly moral and temperate man, not known from childhood to have used a profane curse or oath, nor to have taken one drink of spirituous liquor, nor ever gambled in any way, nor ever had a fight, although very ath- lethic, more so than the common run of men.

CAPT. E. N. GEER, of the firm of Geer & Co., Corry, was born January 9, 1846, in Warren, Warren County, Penn., and is a son of Lewis R. and Lura A. (Cogswell) Geer.

A. W. HECKER (deceased). It is the purpose of this personal sketch to note the prominent characteristics of the individual to which we refer, and to hand down to the future him who stood prominent as a citizen of Erie County, and was a representative man. To describe the character of the individual whose name is at the head of these notes, our first impress is set forth briefly in three words, to wit: "An honest man." He was born in Maiden Creek, Berks Co., Penn., September 29, 1827, and at the age of five years removed with his parents to Seagerstown, Crawford Co., Penn., where he had the advantage of the district schools until 1841, when the family located at Meadville, where his school days subsequently ended, and he entered upon the duties of life as a clerk for J. R. Deck & Co., dry goods merchants. Later, he engaged in the firm of Hollis, White & Co., bankers at Suspension Bridge, Niagara Falls, and as the company part was its cashier until 1865, when he withdrew and returned to Meadville, and soon after made his final settlement in Corry, and engaged in the First National Bank, being its only cashier from the organization until his illness, which terminated in his demise June 12, 1882. He was married to Martha L. Steele, of Painesville, Ohio, daughter of Horace, once a noted editor of a Paynesville paper, the result being one child, Martha W. Mrs. Hecker died, and February 28, 1871, he was married to Harriet D., a daughter of John and Eliza (Williams) Miller. Her father was born in Yorkshire, England, 1808, emigrated to Mead- ville, Penn., in 1828, and engaged in the jewelry business, and afterward in farming, which he continued until death, in 1865. Eliza was a daughter of Isaac Williams, an early shoe merchant of Meadville. Her union with M. Miller blessed her with five children, who grew up, viz., R. W. (deceased), Margaret, Mary (deceased), Harriet D. and Ella C. John Miller was County Commissioner, and held several small offices. He and his consort were devoted Christians, his faith being in the Episcopal and hers in the Presbyterian organiza- tions. A. W. Hecker's last marriage gave him two children, viz .: Anthony Wayne, born March 9, 1872; Helen Louise, November 9, 1874. Mr. Hecker and first wife were active members of the Episcopal Church, to which organization his surviving widow, Harriet D., has long been attached. He was the organizer and Superintendent of the first Sunday school by the Episcopalians of Corry. Politically he was a Republican, active and energetic in the interests of that great party. He served the city as Treasurer for a num- ber of terms. At a meeting of the City Council of Corry, Penn., held in their chamber June 19, 1882, the Mayor appointed three members to draft resolutions expressing the esteem and respect held for the late City Treasurer by the Council, and their sincere regret at his sudden death, and the following is the result: "WHEREAS, The Almighty has sud- denly sent death into this community, and taken from its midst our esteemed fellow-citi- zen, Mr. A. W. Hecker; and, WHEREAS, the departed was the trusted Treasurer of the city at the time of his death, and had served with fidelity in the same capacity for several terms; THEREFORE, be it Resolved, That while we strive to bow with becoming reverence in this sad affliction, we do so with unfeigned regret. Resolved, That by the death of Mr. Hecker our city has lost a public-spirited, sincere, intelligent and honest man. Resolved, That this Council extend to the family of the deceased its heartfelt sympathy, and that the City Clerk be requested to furnish them with a copy of these resolutions. Resolved, That these resolutions be published in all of the city papers, and that the Clerk spread them for a memorial upon the journal of the City Council. Mr. Hecker was a member in high stan ding of the Royal Arcanum, and a memoriam page was inserted in the proceedings of the Grand Council of Pennsylvania Royal Arcanum, held at Harrisburg March 13 and 14, 1883, he being the first Past Regent in that organization since its erection. The fol-

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES:

lowing from the Corry Telegraph, published June 15, 1882, tells something edifying of the worthy subject of this sketch: "Mr. Hecker was an early resident of this city, having come from Meadville to Corry to take the position in the First National Bank he filled at his death. During the first years of his sojouru here, his house was noted as the center of everything in public matters which women had anything to do with, his noble wife being ably seconded by him in all public enterprises. Within the past few years, Mr. Hecker has won more esteem from those he has come in contact with than ever he before pos- sessed, his disposition having evidently changed, and he became attractive to those around him, and a man of sociability in business. As a banker, he was firm yet accommodating, honest to a fault, and honorable in all his dealings, strictly attentive to business, and of untiring determination to conduct the interests confided to him in a manner to show a clean record, and a profit to all interested. The bank has sustained a great loss. the com- munity feels heavily his taking away, and all with one accord sympathize with the family and his business associates in the irreparable calamity."
