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
