Per Natalie, a relative living near Nashville TN:
"Uncle Heine was known by that name by everyone far and near. His name was Heinrich or Henry when the German name was not too popular in this country at the time of WW 1. He was blind, said to have been caused by a heat stroke, though that does not seem likely say doctors. Whatever caused it never seemed to slow him down. He could go anywhere in North Nashville, knowing each little turn or bump along the way. He chopped wood, set clocks, changed money (he was the manager of distribution for North Nashville for the Nashville newspapers). nIn worship at St. Paul's Lutheran Church he knew the worship book by heart and sang all the hymns. There were no braille books. Henry did not know braille anyway.
He died in his early 90's, declaring often to me that two things gave him long life, i.e. chewing tobacco and drinking nothing but sulfur water which he and I would get by Werthan Bag Factory sulfur water spring, each carrying several gallon jugs. His memory was fantastic and I enjoyed his stories, particularly those about the Yankeed coming into Nashville, and how he as a yound boy helped hidesome smoked hams under a barrel on which he sat as the troops took most of their food.
He lived in a room and toilet area of the barn/ garage/ storage building/ small apartment. Following the death of Grandpa Vaughn, my parents made him move into the house. This was not his choice but it was better for his health and comfort. He liked his place in the large building where he had been.
I could talk on and on about him for he was a very important person in my life. He felt that he must give approval for anyone whom I might want to marry. He thought, as I did, I and still do, that my wife was just the tops.
I just love reading memories that people have. Uncle Heine/ Henry was definitely as sweet person whom everyone thought very highly of." (per Natalie Markey as quoted from a male cousin who knew him) (entered Aug 2012)
Headstone was installed 2015. (purchased by Ladean Cox Bowman, wife of Gerald H. Bowman (Bauman))∼'
