7. Anon. 1898. Commemorative Biographical Record of Central Pennsylvania, including the Counties of Centre, Clearfield, Jefferson and Clarion. J.H. Beers & Co., Chicago.

p. 164 John Heim, the grandfather of Mrs. Hensyl, and a farmer and school teacher by occupation, died in 1824. He was twice married, by the first union having one son and seven daughters, while by the second there were six sons and two daughters. Sophia (Kohl), his second wife, lived to the advanced age of eighty-eight years. Her children were as follows: John, of Richfield, Juniata Co., Penn.; George, of Upper Mahonoy township, Northumberland county; Diana, wife of John Straub, of Lykenstown, Penn.; Mollie, wife of Peter Beisel, of Upper Mahanoy; Peter, of Watsontown, Northumberland county; William, the father of Mrs. Hensyl; Daniel, of Northumberland county; and Jonathan, a resident of Illinois.

Was her other given name really, "Diana," or has the author erred? The name, Diana, comes from a goddess of Roman mythology, and it's unusual for Christians of this era to use such a given name.
