Leo Glen Heinzman (born 1901 Died 1978), son of John Christian Heinzman, moved from Hamilton county to Owen county in 1947, establishing a substantial farm. At the time most families in the area used horses to plow and work their fields. When the Heinzmans moved in they brought with them a Ford tractor and Glenda Kay recalls how all the neighbors came over to visit, impressed by the tractor.
Glenda Kay also recalls that they were the first homestead in the area to have electricity and that all the neighbors came over to see it turned on.
