Notes:
Chet came to Atchison County, Kansas about 1883, with his parents. He attended rural school and high school. In Jun 1900 U.S. Census, he was age 18 and not living at home. I found that he was living in Benton Township, working as a farm laborer for a neighbor family by the name of George Jansen. George and his wife were from Denmark. Chet homesteaded near Parshall, North Dakota. His marriage license indicated that he was from McLean County, North Dakota. His wife, Julia, had been married before, and had one son Paul. Chet was in North Dakota by 1910. a card to Nora Rogers dated May 13, 1912 reads, "Monday. I am in Omaha, Neb. waiting for a train for Plaza. Will be there tomorrow night. Theodore started home last night. Write to Plaza North. D. C.C. Heineken." He lived there during WW I. The claim was located about 100 miles north of Bismark. The principle crops were flax and wheat. He later farmed near Nortonville, Kansas.
An article in the newspaper 2 Apr 1943 is as follows: "Chet Heineken left on the train Wednesday afternoon for a weeks trip to Parshall, N.D. to hire someone to put in his wheat crop. Tractors are run day and night during the busy season and older men do not run tractors as they do here. Chet has 800 acres there. Parshall is about 60 miles from the Canadian border."
Julia was living in California with some of her family when she died. They had no children. His home was located at 202 Locust, Nortonville, Kansas. When he died, Pat inherited his house and farm and half of the property in North Dakota. Ernest Heineken and Elsie Thorp were to inherit the other half. He was the executor of his parents estate and not thought highly of among most of his siblings. He died in the Atchison Hospital.

Notes:
Julia had been married previously in Lawler, Iowa. When she married Chet, her son Paul would have been over seven years old. Much of her family lived in the Los Angeles, California area. Julia had sisters Jessie Kout, Josephine Swartz and three brothers in California. She also had one brother in Charles City, Iowa and one sister in Canada. Julia wrote a postcard to Chet's mother Mary Heineken about 1935 from Los Angeles, which reads, "Sunday. Dear Folks. Got here Friday nite. Found all real well and looking well & natural. It's nice and warm here, flowers blossoming everywhere. There are wonderful sights here. Tillie is on her way here. Expect to be here tomorrow. Will write later on. Best wishes to all. Julia." The card had a one cent stamp on it and postage due of one cent.
Later, Julia underwent a gallstone operation and never fully recovered. She was living in California with family when she died at the home of her brother in South Gate. Funeral services were held at Saint Emydius Catholic Church, Lynwood, California. I remember going to her funeral with my mother. She is buried at Calvary Cemetery, South Gate Cemetery beside her parents.
