This is the upper end of the valley known locally as Heilman Valley (FYI the name is spelled both ways here, the first two or three generations used Heilman but since than it can be Hileman or Heilman. Both are found in the church and on gravestones in the cemetery.) This farm was bought from the last of the Heilman named owners three years ago. The current owner’s wife was a Hileman. The farm is large but not the only one in the valley still farmed by Hileman descendants. Lovey view. The pond was just rebuilt and the structure nearby replaced a 1800’s barn that burned five years ago.
