Henry J. Heinz - Personal Life

Personal Life

Heinz was a devout Methodist. At the beginning of his will he wrote: "I desire to set forth, at the very beginning of this Will, as the most important item in it, a confession of my faith in Jesus Christ as my Savour." When he visited England, his "tourist stops" included the grave of John Bunyan, Isaac Watts, and John Wesley. He visited a chapel that John Wesley founded, where he later wrote, "I felt I was upon holy ground."

Heinz was married to Sarah Sloan Young Heinz in 1869 and had four children:

  • Clarence Heinz
  • Howard Covode Heinz (1877-1941)
  • Clifford Heinz (1883-1935)
  • Irene Heinz Givens

Famous quotes related to personal life:

    The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To ‘see the light’ too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
