EDWARD F. HEISCH
 
Among the serviceable establishments in Marysville is �Heisch�s� Confectionery 
and Cigar Store, at 131 D Street, conducted by its proprietor, Edward F. Heisch. 
 He is a native son and a patriotic American, and was born at Sacramento, on 
December 12, 1878, spending his boyhood and school days partly in the capital 
and partly in Amador City.  He came to Marysville in 1893, and also attended 
school here.  As a boy of eight years, he commenced to carry papers for the 
Marysville Democrat, with which he was connected for eighteen years, for a time 
as printer�s devil, then as the boy in charge of the mailing list, and later on 
as manager of the paper for four years.  For ten years he was a clerk in C. L. 
Bowen�s grocery store at Fifth and E Streets, and later he was with E. C. Coats 
in the Tourist Garage.
On November 18, 1917, Mr. Heisch opened a confectionery store at 131 D Street, 
making it a point from the very beginning to carry a line of high-grade candy, 
cigars, ice-cream and soft drinks.  He specializes in the Golden Pheasant, 
Wilson�s and Buckhart�s candies.  The cosmopolitan character of Marysville 
suggests the wide range of tastes to which such an establishment as that of 
�Heisch�s� must cater; but Mr. Heisch�s varied experience, together with his 
never-failing desire to render the best of service, has enabled him always to 
meet every demand and has insured his success.  He is a public-spirited man, and 
his fellow-citizens are not slow to observe and encourage just that quality.
In 1899, Mr. Heisch was married at Marysville to Miss Anna G. Wheeler, a native 
of San Francisco.  He belongs to Yuba-Sutter Parlor No. 6, N.S.G.W., at 
Marysville; Lodge No. 783, B.P.O.E.; and Court Pride No. 34, Foresters of 
America.
