JOHN HEFLICH
Originally published in 1900 |
|
JOHN HEFLICH, of West Hoboken. Hudson County, was born in New
York City on the 5th of April, 1853, and there received his early education.
In 1866 he removed to Jersey City and soon afterward to Secaucus. Finally
he became a permanent settler of West Hoboken, where he soon identified
himself with the growth and development of the town. Engaging in
the hotel business on the corner of Summit and Paterson Avenues, he soon
established a reputation and came into prominence as a man of enterprise
and public spirit. He constantly made improvements until the property
now owned and occupied by him is one of the finest in the place. Recently
he has erected what is known as Heflich Hall, one of the best equipped
halls in Hudson County. His whole property occupies four full lots.
Mr. Heflich has always been an ardent and active Democrat and for many years an acknowledged leader of his party. He has been twice elected a member of the West Hoboken Council, has often been a delegate to party conventions, and is an important factor in the political affairs of both the Town of West Hoboken and the County of Hudson. He was for twelve years Major of the Seventh Battalion of the Schuetzenhund of New Jersey, and is a member of the Foresters of America and of the Knights and Ladies of Honor. Mr. Heflich married Miss Catherine Harms, of Secaucus, Hudson County, by whom he has four sons and four daughters: Henry, Annie (Mrs. Valentine Woerner), George, Katie (Mrs. Henry Schoppman), John, Lena, Grover, and Lizzie.
