JOHN HECK, of Westwood, was born in Albany, N. Y., on the 3d of March, 1859. He is the son of Daniel Heck and Susan Christina Kuhn, a grandson of George Heck and Eliza Gobel and of Henry Kuhn and Anna Katherine Bock, and a great-grandson of Justis Heck and John Henry Kuhn. His great-great-grandfathers were Henry Peil and John Bock. His ancestors on both sides came to this country from Germany about the time of the Revolutionary War, in which some of them participated or figured. His parents came to this country about forty-six years ago. His father went direct to Albany, N. Y., where he engaged in the business of painting and decorating.

Mr. Heck was educated in the public schools of Albany and New Jersey. He also attended a seminary. At the age of thirteen he went to work on his father's farm, where he remained until he was twenty-two, acquiring a strong constitution and laying the foundation of a successful career. He then took charge of his father's painting and decorating business, which he has since continued with marked success. He served as Collector of Washington Township two terms and was appointed agent of township properties and to look after township affairs. He is a member, Steward, and Trustee of the Hillsdale Methodist Episcopal Church and has served as Treasurer for the stewards and Secretary of the Board of Trustees of that denomination. He has also been actively identified with its Sunday School. He is a member of the Board of Education of Washington Township, a member of Hillsdale Lodge, No. 54, A. O. U. W., a charter member of the Westwood Fire Association, and a Director of the Bergen County Farmers' Association. He is in every respect a self-made man, active and influential in the community, and thoroughly identified with those institutions and organizations which contribute so much to the general welfare.

Mr. Heck married Maggie Maurer and has four children: Lizzie M., Martha L., George D., and John Arthur.
