Father of Forty-One Children.
Readir & Eagle.


Yes, it's So" said the man.
"Oh, John you must be Mistaken
replied his third wife.
well, tell you it's SO; l ought to
know" was the emphatic reply of John
Hefner, who lives on Maple street be
tween Chestnut and Spruce, this city.
A reporter of the Eagle had called upon
Mr.. Beffner to learn the correct history
of his much talked-about great brood of
forty one children.
Heffner sparingly built, smoked short
pipe, and makes living in the rag busi>
ness. He is IS years old, and has a pleas
ant smile and cheerful greeting for all
friends. The story of the mans married
life. as related by himself, is probably the
most remarkable one on record. He was
born in Germany in 1915. When twenty
FIVE years old in 1940-he married his
first wife, who lived eighty years. She
became the mother of seventeen children
in that time having twins in the first year
of their marriage. The next year another
pair of twins were born. Each succeeding
wear for four years thereafter Mrs. Hef-
ner became the mothOr of triplets. The
seventh year was signalized by the birth
of only one child. Mrs. Heffner died and
was laid away in the village churchyard
in Germ my. The widower had now
family of seventeen children, the Oldest
only seven years of age. Three months
thereafter young lady took charge OF the
children and in course of time she became
the second Mrs. Heffner The first wife
had died in February, 1S4S. In February
1S4e, this second wife presented Mr.. Heff>
ner with boy. On Christmas day OF the
same year, the nineteenth child was added
to the Heffner flock. The family was now
larger than any other in that part oil the
country. Five years passed on and
Mr.. Heffner's household was increased by
| the addition of ten more children-a pair
of twins being born every year. There
was now lull, end for three years there>
after, only one child was born unto them
In 1851 he came to this couhtry with his
family, and the last three children we're
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1881-01-16

born in America. In 1867 his wife died,
having been married nine years. He was
now the father Of thirty.two children,
twelve Of whom had died, leaving twenty
to be taken in charge by widow whom he
married in 1858 Mrs. Heffner No. 8 had
had one child by previous marriage.
She became the mother of nine more
children in ten years by single births. His
last or third wife, is still living None of
the first set of seventeen children survive.
Two of the fifteen of the second wife
children still live and three of the third
wife's nine. In period of twenty.eight
years-from 1910, when he first married,
to 1868, the day of the birth of his last
child-he became the father of forty-one
children. The FIVE who are still living are
girls With the step-child added to the
list, forty-two children have called John
Heffner '.father" The old man has long
since forgotten the names of his numerous
progeny, and can only recall those born in
later years. tt.

Since the introduction of this Spool Cotton
into the American market, its success has
been unprecedented. No other brand of
thread has ever met with the same amount
of public favor in the same space of time.
The 40. N. T." manufacturers were the
first to recognize the importance of the Sew
ing Machine and to make six-cord cotton,
which has ever since been the recognized
standard for machines.
All the improvements in machinery that
tEe inventive genius of the nineteenth CEN
curry has produced have been adapted by the
manufacturers of 80. N. T."
At all the great International Fairs of the
world, 80, n T." has been awarded the
highest honors.
The 80. N. T." factories at Newark, N. j.
and Paisley, Scotland, employ $500 opera
tives-make sufficient thread daily to go o.
round the world four times.
Consume 40 tons of coal daily.
The manufacturers of so N. T." are the

Your gray eyes wonder-hlled beneath ,ha, crown
Of bright hair gladdening me as you raced by.
Another Father now. more strong than l.,
Has borne you voiceless to your dear blue sky."
