Third Generation

4. Clemens W Heinzmann^10,11,12 was born on 20 Oct 1862 in Highland, Madison County, Illinois.^12,13 Maxine Heinzmann Cole has his birth date as 20 Oct 1863. Supposedly, his marriage permit lists his age as 22 in 1889. I haven't seen the actual permit but if it says 27, that would be logical and a 7 can easily be mistaken for a 2. He was baptized on 26 Apr 1863 in Saint Paul Catholic Church, Highland, Madison County, Illinois.¹⁴ He lived in Clinton County, Illinois in 1868.¹⁵ He appeared in the census in 1880 in Meridian Township, Clinton County, Illinois.¹⁶ He was a farmer.¹² He owned Sec 4, 160 acres, about 1920 in Meridian Township, Clinton County, Illinois.¹⁵ He lived on the farm where Harold & Vivian last lived in Meridian Township, Clinton County, Illinois.
