The family lived in Palmer, Massachusetts in 1910 where Heman was an overseer of a cotton textile mill. By 1910 the family had moved to Nashua, New Hampshire where Heman in a foreman at a mill. The 1930's census states that he is an overseer of a textile mill. In 1930, he owned his own home valued at the time at $20000.

Heman, not Herman, is buried at the Edgewood Cemetery, Nashua, New Hampshire. His given name as engraved on his gravestone as well as used in numerous vital records is "Heman" although a number of other documents state "Herman" as his given name.
