From Christopher Heller, the founder, sprang Frederick Peter Heller, born in Reading, Pennsylvania, where he passed his entire life, dying when in good old age. He was a justice of the peace for many years, that being a very important office in his day. He served in the last few years of the Revolution, although very young. He married and was the father of eight children, the eldest being a son, George, a leading jeweler of Reading. They also had sons: John, Frederick, and Louis, the last-named being the principal character of this review.
