Notes
from Lewis James Heatwole's obituary in the Gospel Herald in 1933
"As a pioneer weather observer, in which he had a record of about 64 years, and also as an almanac calculator, he had a field all his own, supplying calendars for as many as 60 almanacs in the United States and Canada. He was both a pioneer and an authority on such matters, and a number of years ago published a perpetual calendar that attracted wide attention."Provenance
