enterprising and prosperous business men of that locality is one
of the "Wood county boys" Born in Grand Rapids, September 2, 1865,
he attended the excellent public schools there during boyhood, and
later took a course in a business college. After graduating, he
returned to his native town, and engaged in mercantile business,
dealing in groceries, glassware and crockery, and has achieved a
success which speaks well for his ability, judgment and fair dealing.
His reputation in financial circles is one of the best, and in local
politics he is among the formost, being an influential worker in
the Democratic party in his vicinity. Mr. Heeter was married June
12, 1895, to Miss Etta Thomas, born June 8, 1876, one of the most

to his ability. Fred was about 32 years old when this was written.

is my Abraham Carrick? Is there a survived by line on his gravestone
