He was born about 1872 in Guthrie, Iowa and died about 1955 I think in Minnesota. He married Edith McGrew, she was born 1874 I believe in Pottawatomie, Iowa. They had five children; Lois, Dorothy, Paul(who died in 1921), Ralph(Shorty) and Lyle(Jerry). They also lived in Iowa and Minnesota, that i know of. If anyone can help me find out anything about Heman's family, parents etc. I would sure appreciate it. Thank You in advance Judy
