  HENRY HEURING, a stockholder and director of the Point Bottle Works, of
  Rochester, Pa., is the general manager of the establishment, and it is almost
  entirely due to his efficient service in that capacity that the plant is one
  of the most flourishing in Beaver county. He was born in Pittsburg, Pa.,
  November 11, 1857, and is a son of Theodore, and Mary (Renner) Heuring, -
  being of German parentage.
  
  Theodore Heuring, the father of our subject, was born in Munster, Germany,
  and was a young man when he came to America, obtaining employment as a common
  laborer. After his marriage, he became a raftsman on the Ohio River and
  settled at Pittsburg, but later became a sawyer, and then foreman of the saw
  mill of McClintoc & Co., of Pittsburg. In 1873, he removed to Rochester,
  Beaver county, Pa., where he was employed as foreman of the L. Oatman Mills,
  and later as foreman of the box makers of the Rochester Tumbler Company. He
  was an ambitious man and a hard worker, and rose from the ranks of the day
  laborer to a prosperous condition in life. He died in 1898, when sixty-seven
  years old, and his wife now enjoys life at the age of sixty-five years. She
  resides in the house built by her husband on New York street. Her maiden name
  was Mary Renner, and she is a native of Elk county, Pennsylvania. Their union
  was blessed by the birth of the following offspring: William, of Chicago;
  Henry, the subject of this biographical record; Annie, the wife of J. T.
  Conlin, whose personal history also appears in this book; Kate, the wife of
  John Beck, of Carnegie, Pa.; John, deceased; Frank, a boxmaker; Theodore and
  Charles, twins, both of whom work in the Rochester Tumbler Works; and Andrew
  Packer, who is also employed at the Rochester Tumbler Works; and Joseph, a
  glass blower at the Point Bottle Works.
  
  Henry Heuring was reared and educated in the borough of Rochester, and at an
  early age entered the box manufacturing department of the Rochester Tumbler
  Company. He continued to work at that until 1887, when he became an
  organizer, stockholder and president of the Point Bottle Works, Limited. This
  plant was established, in 1879, as the Rochester Flint Vial & Bottle Works, by
  David McDonald, president, and C. I. McDonald, vice-president. The business
  did not flourish as was expected, and it was later sold

  at sheriff's sale, - being purchased by the following: J. M. Buchanan; S. B.
  Wilson; J. C. Cunningham; J. C. Irwin; and P. McLaughlin. The name was
  changed to that of the Point Bottle Works, the concern was reorganized, and
  P. McLaughlin was made president. Under this head business was continued
  until 1887, when the enterprise again changed hands and was completely
  re-organized under the name of the Point Bottle Works. Henry Heuring, the
  subject of these lines, was chosen president, and P. J. Huth, secretary and
  treasurer, and under this management the plant for the first time was made a
  paying venture. Mr. Heuring continued as president until 1897, when he
  assumed the duties of general manager, his former position being filled by C.
  A. Darmbacher. The plant is one of the principal manufacturing establishments
  in Beaver county, and its products are shipped to all parts of the country.
  The yearly output amounts to $90,000, and the company gives constant
  employment to one hundred and twenty-five men. The factory consists of two
  large buildings, both of which are well equipped with the latest of machinery
  used in the business. A switch is also run up into the yard to the shipping
  house making the best of facilities for shipping. Mr. Heuring has given his
  entire time and attention to the business, and under his skilful guidance it
  has prospered and is increasing with great rapidity. The subject of this
  memoir was, for two years, president of the Central Building & Loan
  Association, of which he was one of the organizers.
  
  Mr. Heuring was joined in matrimonial bonds with Josephine Huth, a sister of
  P. J. Huth, whose sketch appears elsewhere in this Book of Biographies, and
  their children were: Agnes, deceased; Harry; Gracie; Marilla; Irene; and
  Richard, deceased. Fraternally, he is a member of the Elks.
