Ralph Heiden - What did Grandpa Heiden do for a living? Didn’t he work as a
carpenter in addition to farming?
Helma (Heiden) Nickel - He worked for
Henry Milhan as a carpenter sometimes. I know
he helped build a couple of houses over on Lewis Avenue as you go
into Ida. The Sheid house and one for the Feinauers, I think. He
also worked on Ed Miller’s place too.
Wilma (Heiden) Bicking - I remember them building that front porch on the house (8861 Dixon Road pictured above). They
laid the blocks and built it form the ground up.
 Norma "Jeanie" Heiden - Pa didn’t get a lot of schooling but he was very good with
math.
Wilma (Heiden) Bicking - He only went through the sixth grade at Bridge School (left). But,
if he were going to put barley in the bin, he could sit down and
figure out how many bushels there were to go in. He could figure out
most anything.
Norma "Jeanie" Heiden - When we had math problems from school, he could always help
us out. People were intelligent without necessarily having to go to
school for a long time. |
