Sophia was the daughter of Maria Magdalena Pfeiffer and Johann Wilhelm Oppermann. Maria was born in Netzbach, Germany, and Wilhelm was born in Kaltenholzhausen, Germany, both towns being located in the former Duchy Nassau. Sophia had three siblings, Philip, Mary, and Elizabeth.
The Oppermann family lived in Netzbach until 1860 when they emigrated to the United States. They first settled at Hunt's Corners, Huron Co., Ohio, and then moved to a farm in Lyme Twp. of the same county.
On February 10, 1861, Sophia married Johann Heymann. They lived on his farm west of Hunt's Corners and had five children:
John Jr. (b. 1862)
Elizabeth (b. 1864)
Charles William (b. 1866)
Mary (b. 1867)
William (b. 1872)
In 1873 she was left a widow with a young family. She rented out the farm until her two eldest sons, at ages 19 and 15, were able to operate a part of the farm along with her.
