OBITUARY: S. WAYNE HEINZMAN

Scott Wayne Heinzman, the son of Scott Earl and Maude (Ellen) Heinzman, was born on the family farm in rural Phillips, Nebraska on October 10, 1923 and died in Grand Island, Nebraska on January 17, 2010, at the age of 86.

He grew up in on the family farm and graduated from Phillips High School. On August 21, 1944, he was united in marriage to Joan Virginia Marlatt at Bellvue, Kansas.

Wayne went to work for his father at S.E. Heinzman & Sons in 1942. In 1953, the company was moved to Grand Island. The company evolved into Heinzman Engineering, Inc. The business was sold in 1987. After that, Wayne continued to farm and mow fairways at Indian Head Golf Course.

Wayne was a member of the Phillips United Methodist Church, Masonic Lodge Keystone #62 A.F. & A.M., Grand Island Eagles, Grand Island Elks, the Platt-Duetsche, the N.R.A, Riverside County Club and Lochland Country Club. He loved to play golf and ride his motorcycles. Wayne made many trips up to Sturgis, South Dakota. Wayne was a pilot and loved to fly family and friends in his airplane. He was a faithful Husker fan to both the Basketball and Football teams.

He was preceded in death by his parents; son, Scott Lee Heinzman; two brothers, Dale and Warren Heinzman and two sisters, Doris Phillips and Beatrice Shomshor.

Those left to cherish his memory are his wife, Joan Heinzman of Phillips; son, John (Isabelle) Heinzman of Phillips; daughter Pat Heinzman of Grand Island; 4 granddaughters, Gretchen Ellen Heinzman of Lincoln, Nicole Myers of York, Anna Christine (Brad) Hunter of Sanford, North Carolina and Tracy Lynn (Doug) Hill of Grand Island; 6 great-grandchildren, Damia Joan Hill, Nicholas Lyle Grubb, twins, Devon and Tristan Hill, Keenan Scott Myers and John Jackson Hunter and many nieces, nephews, family members and friends.

Methodist

Scott married Maud Ellen Gish about 1910. Maud (daughter of William Gish) was born about 1891 in Kansas; was buried in Phillips Cemetery. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

I have had a hard time finding Maud's last name. However there is an obituary in THE LINCOLN STAR newspaper, June 5, 1975:

Roy O. Gish 74, Friend (Nebraska)
died in friend, retired farmer
Survivors: wife Vera, daughter Mrs Tom (Shirley) Stelmach, Louisville, Colo.Stepdaughter, Mrs Pat Keller, Denver; stepsons Leon Sharp, Omaha, Robert Sharp, Cheyenne Wyo
Sisters: Mrs Alta Baker, Seattle
Mrs Grace Jennings, Norwalk CA
Mrs Maud Heinzman, Phillips, Nebraska

The Wintermute/Lewis/Heinzman family all lived in Friend, Nebraska at one time, this certainly is our Maude Heinzman.

Lloyd married Anna Christine Sanders. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Names "Frank" and "Jason" were from both grandfathers

Notes:

According to the census, he was Fred Junior and both parents were born in Germany. His occupation lists "own income," while Scott's occupation is "farm labor" in the 1910 census.

Fred married Cora Edna WINTERMUTE on 20 Aug 1888. Cora (daughter of Alexander WINTERMUTE and Adeline PURCELL) was born on 30 Aug 1868; died on 13 Jan 1896. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
