BACK IN THE DAY: Street names recall Moreno Valley investors

He and others eventually established the Moreno Fruit Co. Heacock Street: Named for Willard J. Heacock, a judge in Gloversville, N.Y., and president of the Gloversville and Jamestown Railroad Co. in that state. Heacock was a heavy investor in the BV&AD Co., even serving as president of the Bear Valley Irrigation Co. for a time. He never lived in what would become Moreno Valley, but his brother Mills Heacock and his family did. Perris Boulevard: The original name for this road was Judson Street. It later was renamed Perris Boulevard because it connected to the town of Perris to the south. The original namesake was Edward G. Judson, a close friend and business partner of Frank Brown. Judson was involved with Brown in developing Redlands, and his name shows up in the early records of other towns, too. Nason Street: Named for Frank L. Nason, another early investor and business associate of Frank Brown. Moreno Beach Drive: Originally, this was Pettit Street, named for Henry H. Pettit, who brought his family to Redlands, and then later Moreno Valley, from Gloversville, N.Y. He joined with others to form the Moreno Fruit Co. and was another early investor. Theodore Street: Named for Theodore Clark, who had run a successful dry-goods business in Hartford, Conn., before settling in Redlands. He helped establish land sales in Redlands and invested heavily in the Moreno Valley region. Author’s note: I am indebted to Vi Hamner’s book “Moreno Valley, California, In the Beginning” for details on road names and people.

Emily Maria Heaning

The Heaning family was now complete. After the boys were born, they felt they had to leave the big city, so in October 1958 they moved upstate to Gloversville, NY. Bill became employed with Mohawk Cabinet. Emily, Debby and the boys got through their first winter of heavy snow all right. In 1960 Emily was employed at Harpers woman's apparel on N. Main St., in Gloversville and her job there was an Estee Lauder representative. After about a year she was asked to dress and layout the front windows. In 1968 she left Harpers for a position at Lee and Mason Agency, where she learned as much about the insurance business as possible. She worked there for five years. On Sept. 2, 1970, Emily and Bill lost their pride and joy. At age 16, Debbie lost her life in an automobile accident. In 1972, Emily, Bill, Billy and Kenny decided they needed a new environment for the family and moved to Cape Coral, FL. They loved it so much they built a beautiful home on the waterway. Bill got his Florida insurance licensee and Emily got a job at Deep Lagoon Marina as a secretary. They spent many hours on their boat cruising the Gulf of Mexico and the waterways around Cape Coral. In the evening at sunset when the sun was about to disappear into the Gulf, Emily would yell out "splash" there it goes again. After a beautiful day on the water, they would head home in the boat. Emily passed the Florida insurance test and along with Bill, they started their own business, Heaning Insurance Agency. Bill did the selling and Emily ran the office and took care of all their clients' Medicare paperwork for them. They loved her so much, they would stop by the office not only to bring her their medial bills, they wanted to sit and have a chat. Bill and Emily operated their agency for over thirty years. During those years, Billy and Kenny gave Emily and Bill the most beautiful grandchildren in the world. If they didn't have the kids out on the boat or in the pool, you would find Emily sitting on the coach surrounded by kids watching "The Wizard of Oz" or "Anne." In 2004, Emily and Bill retired and decided to move back to Gloversville so they could be close to family. Emily could not stay at home every day so she got a job as a greeter at Walmart. Once again she was dealing with the public and she loved every minute of it. After five years she retired again, this time for good. But then in 2015, they moved again - this time to Grand Junction, IA, where she was surrounded by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Emily passed away suddenly in her home there on April 9, 2016. Emily was predeceased by her adored daughter, Debra Ann Heaning; grandson, Kenny M. Heaning; and brother, Fred Viano. She is survived by her loving husband of 63 years, Bill Heaning; son, Ken Heaning and his wife Kathleen; son, Bill Heaning and his wife Sindee; sister, Joan Handy; and brother, Richard Viano. She is also survived by seven grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren. A private service was held in Jefferson, IA. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to a charity of your choice.
