 =Source Notes=
 * The obituary of John S. Heeter is published in December 1953; his gravestone has his death date as 1954, which is probably the year the date was engraved on his stone.
-* The death notice of Mrs. John Heeter, "daughter of Mrs. R. L. Shafer", by its wording (Mentioning the mother but not the father) suggests that her mother outlived her father. However, the obituary of John S. Heeter clearly states that his wife died in 1920, and he in 1953.   This death notice may be for the wife of a different John Heeter.   We however do not believe it to be for the wife of John G. Heater.  We have deduced that Jane A. Middleton was wife of John G. Heater, based on her death notice in 1913 at age 84, and the presence in 1910 of a Jane Heater age 80 living next door to John S. Heeter, presumably her son.
 * The 1900 census for John S. Heeter lists his wife as Myrtle, b. Sept 1875.  The name appears to be in error.  The birth year of 1875 agrees with both the 1910 census and the gravestone for wife Iona, so we suspect the name Myrtle is in error.  Wife Iona in 1910 reports being married for 16 years.
