Shelly,
Thanks for thinking of me, but I do not know how either of these Heitz fit into my line. ?I have two Heitz: Laurence and his daughter Alexa who was probably born around 1975, as she was married in 1996.

have an old photograph of Charlie & Lizzie HEITZ which was taken at the New
York Gallery in Reading, PA. Lizzie is identified as "Aunt Lizzie".
Ordering information is also written on the back including hair and eye colors
as if an additional version on the photograph was being ordered by "Mrs.
HEITZ of Reamstown". Based on limited research I was able to gather the
following information regarding this couple:
?
Charles
¡°Charlie¡± C. HEITZ was b. 27 May 1868 in Brecknock, PA or Germany to parents
Frederick or Friederich Gottlieb HEITZ or HALZ (1840-1909) and Louisa GROTZ (1838-1904).? Charlie was one of three children born to
this couple including siblings Frederick HEITZ (b. 1873) and Anna Barbara HEITZ
WITWER (1880-1942).? Charlie married Elizabeth
¡°Lizzie¡± Horning FREDERICK (1868-1904) on 7 Dec 1889 in Lancaster, PA and they
had four children including Nora Frederick HEITZ (1891-1918); Harry Frederick
HEITZ (1893-1902); Annie Laura HEITZ (1896-1972); and Bertha HEITZ FREESE
(1899-1939).?

Charlie
died 14 Jan 1929 in West Reading or Reamstown, PA and is buried in the Muddy
Creek Cemetery in Denver, PA.
?
Lizzie
Horning FREDERICK was b. 12 Sept 1868 in East Cocalico Township, PA to parents
Daniel Benjamin FREDERICK or FREDERICH (1830-1893) and Sarah ¡°Sallie¡± HORNING
(1843-1918).? Lizzie was one of 13
children born to this couple including Emaline ¡°Emma¡± Horning; Nathaniel; Franklin
¡°Frank¡± Horning; Adam H.; Elizabeth ¡°Lizzie¡± Horning; Annie O.; Benjamin H.;
Jacob H.; Martin Horning; Daniel; Maggie; Samuel H.; and Sallie Horning or
Hastings FREDERICK, between 1862 and 1883.? Lizzie died 2 Jan 1904 in Denver, PA and is
buried in the Muddy Creek Cemetery in Denver, PA.

I
am hoping to get the photograph to family and would appreciate you contacting
me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
?
Thanks,
Shelley
