Rebecca,
Not sure if you have any info yet at all, so wil give you a bit of Perry Co, IN info on
this family. Perhaps some will help you.
Although it isn't my family this might help you, and I see Lynda is going to Perry
Co next month, maybe she might check the deaths for both Joseph and Mary since it would
probably have the parents' names and spelling of surname (although surnames have
tendancy to change spelling through the years).
Some marriages of Graves and Heeke are (book and pg after):
John E Graves Rosa Heeke 27 Apr 1909 Perry 11 43
William Graves Margret Hurbert 14 Sep 1909 Perry 11 102
Frank Heeke Bertha Tempel 3 Nov 1909 Perry 11 133
Carrie Heeke Andrew Boeglin 11 Feb 1908 Perry 10 438
Mary Heeke John Boeglin 7 May 1901 Perry 8 445
Theresa M Heeke William C Tempel 21 Oct 1919 Perry 14 68
Edward H Graves Mary Roeling 14 Apr 1909 Perry 11 40
Some births (note the one for Rose and John - apparently this child died at birth or
soon afterwards, though but didn't see death on her):

(I didn't see Frank and Rose's parents on this census and since they would have
been in 70s possible they died or spelling something other than Heeke or living in another
county with another of their children)

1880 census:
(although name doesn't look anything like Heeke they used sound and the German g
sometimes had a gutteral K sound so this I am sure is this family):
Clark, Perry, Indiana
Joseph Hague 25 IN
Mary Hague 22 IN
Franklin Hague 1 IN
Barbra Jeffers 7 IN
There were a few other Heek or Heeke in Indiana but none with a Joseph, Mary and
Frank/Francis/Franklin. Same with other states around. Also the ones I did find were
born OH or parents born OH or Penn and not Germany.
I didn't try to find them in 1870 or 1860 but if Joseph was born in Indiana it would
have been around 1855 to 1858 and 1860 and possibly 1870 would have been with his
parents.
Hope something here helps you - maybe someone else is searching this family and will
write to you.
My best,
Judy M.
You'd written:
Am looking for information on the family of Rosa Elizabeth HEEKES born 5 Oct. 1889 in
Siberia. Perry county. She married John Ernerst Graves in 1909 in Perry county.
They moved to Howard county IN, where they are buried.
Would appreciate hearing from you if you have any leads I could follow.
Thank You !
Rebecca Waters
