    CHRIS HEHR for many years has been a prominent figure in the
community of Broadwell in Harrison County where he is former postmaster,
was proprietor of a blacksmith ship, and is still giving more or less
active supervision to his extensive farming interests.  His home is on
the Cynthiana and Leesburg Pike, seven miles south of Cynthiana.
     Mr. Hehr was born at Tell City, Indiana, July 15, 1861, a son of
George and Fannie (Flad) Hehr.  His parents were natives of Germany and
came as young people to the United States.  They were married at
Cynthiana, Kentucky, later lived in Greene County, Indiana, then at
Crittenden, Kentucky , and for many years had their home in Harrison
County, where they died.  George Hehr was a blacksmith by trade and is
still living, now retired from his business.  He is a member of the
Episcopal Church, while his wife was a Catholic.  Of their nine children
seven grew to mature years and five are still living; Chris; John, a
Harrison County farmer; Will, a farmer in Bourbon County; Fannie, wife
of C. S. Thompson, of California; and Barbara, who lives in California,
widow of R. N. Parker.
     Chris Hehr has lived practically all of his life in Kentucky.  He
grew up in Harrison County, where he had the advantages of the public
schools at Cynthiana.  From his father he learned the blacksmith/s
trade, and he conducted a shop of his own at Broadwell.  He and his
brothers, George and John, from their work paid the expenses of their
sisters through school.
     Mr. Hehr's first wife was Mollie Duckworth, of Carlisle, Kentucky. 
She left three sons, Garnett, Owen, and Kenneth.  Mr. Hehr then married
Mary Florence and by this marriage has a son, Frazier.  Mr. and Mrs.
Hehr are members of the Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Church.  He is a
democrat and for twenty years was postmaster at Broadwell.  He lives in
Broadwell Village where he has a comfortable residence and three acres
of ground, but his main farm comprises 223 acres and is one of the
valuable properties in that rural community.
