Heid,
Betty Jane:
(1918-1997); “Longtime Davenport resident Betty Jane Ranking Heid passed
away Thursday, June 19, 1997, in Spokane after a brief illness. She was 78.
Funeral service was held Tuesday this week at the First Presbyterian
Church in Davenport, where she was a member. The Rev Martha Montovani and the
Rev Roger Muisiner officiated, and interment was at Mountain View Cemetery.
Born Aug 10, 1918, in Spokane, Betty grew up there, attending Adams
Elementary School and graduating from Lewis and Clark High School in 1936. She
attended Spokane Junior College and EWSC, graduating with a bachelor of arts in
education. She then taught for two years in Reardan. Betty married her loving
husband, Oswald A Heid, on Christmas Day, 1946, and together the couple made
their home in Davenport, where they raised two children. Betty also taught
school in Davenport for about 17 years. The
Heids recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in the
company of many family and friends. Mrs
Heid was a longtime member of the First Presbyterian Church in Davenport where
she had served as a ruling elder and president of the Women’s Association. She
was active in the Davenport Chapter #131, Order of Eastern Star, Ladies of the
Oriental Shrine, and Community Grange. Mrs Heid was a member of the executive
board and past president of the Whitworth College Auxiliary. She also was a
former precinct committee woman for the Republican Party in Lincoln County.
Through the years, Betty remained active in music and art. She took great
delight in her husband, children and grandchildren.
Mrs Heid leaves behind a legacy of a life that was based on service to
others, and a strong desire to contribute to the world in which she lived. She
had many friends and always had a word of encouragement for others, approaching
life with confidence and enthusiasm. Accomplishing much in her 78 years, she was
an active force behind many community, church, and civic projects. A wife,
mother, grandmother, cousin and friend, she was truly an inspiration to many and
her memory lives on. Mrs Heid is

Heitman,
Dorothy F:
(1911-2003); “Interment of Dorothy Faye Heitman, 92, was scheduled in
Mountain View Cemetery in Davenport, alongside her husband, Ted, who preceded

natural causes Nov 18 in Auburn, WA. Born Feb 19, 1911, Dort, as she preferred
to be called, moved from South Dakota to Washington in 1937 and settled in
Davenport in 1939. She was a member of the Davenport Methodist church for 60
years and active in many community activities. She held offices in the Royal

Heitman,
Ted A:
(1906-1998); “One of
Davenport’s most talented and interesting citizens was lain to rest earlier
this week. Ted A Heitman, 91, a lifelong mechanic and tinkerer, passed away on
Jan 1, 1998 in Davenport. He is survived by his wife Dorothy (Dort, for short),
at the home. Born on Feb 11, 1906 in North Dakota, Mr Heitman was not originally
named Ted. He was given three other names by a family name selection committee,
but legally changed his name to Ted later in life. Raised in South Dakota, he
graduated from eighth grade and went to work driving truck, which, his wife
says, was the beginning of his love for the automobile and anything else
mechanical. After marrying Dort and
beginning their family, which included daughter, Shirley, Mr Heitman was
employed as an experienced mechanic with a healthy supply of customers. However,
due to the depression, cash flow was short and the Heitman’s moved to the
Inland Northwest. After working in the woods and trying his had in a few
different trades, Mr Heitman settled in Davenport where he went to work at the
Ford garage. He and Ken Huffman
opened up Ken and Ted’s Pontiac and later, Mr Heitman worked for a cement
company as their truck maintenance mechanic. Interested in anything mechanical,
Mr Heitman was also adept at welding, woodworking and small engine repair.
Friends and family say Mr Heitman fell in love with any new invention
that came along and took correspondence courses to learn to fix radios and
televisions. He constructed a boat, flew airplanes and, according to Dort, even
talked about overhauling engines in his sleep. He was the proud inventor of a
cross between a bike and a car that friends joke the county still doesn’t know
how to license. A trip to the
family home was all visitors needed to know how talented Mr Heitman was. He
built a typical playground for his three grandsons, but also threw in a few
carnival-type rides such as airplanes and go-carts. Rumor had it a train ride
around the family property was next on Mr Heitman’s list of accomplishments.
A valued citizen, Mr Heitman was a volunteer fireman in Davenport, served
a term on the school board and was a member of the Davenport-Edwall United
Methodist Church for over 50 years. Other
survivors of Mr Heitman include daughter Shirley Powers of Sumner, WA; three
grandsons and 7 great grandchildren; two sisters, Hazel Morthland of Deadwood,
SD and Adelaide Snyder of Rapid City, SD; numerous nieces and nephews.”
