Before Birth

Childhood

Around 1935 - Death of their mother Emely

Around the year 1935, when his brother Paul was around seven to eight years old, their mother Emely Sieworth, died. Due to this, the family began splitting apart. Edward's brother, Paul, not being consulted, was, either on the decision of Otto, the state authorities, or both, was put into the Missouri Foster Home Program. He had two pairs of pants, and a pair of shoes as his belongings when he left, also not really having that much of a reaction to the news[4].

After the passing of his mother, the Heacock family disintegrated. Paul, not being consulted, and probably on both the opinion of his father and the state authorities, was told that he was going to be put into the Missouri Foster Home Program, and so started going in and out of such as well as living with family. Paul only had two pairs of pants, a pair of shoes, and a couple of shoes as his personal belongings. Paul had a "So what?" reaction to news, there was nothing that he could really do. Sometimes Otto would pull the family back together again just for later for them to be separated again.

Between March 1938 and March 1939 - Fist fighting with his father and moving to Detroit, Michigan

One day when Edward was 16 years of age, Edward and Otto got into a fist fight over some unknown issue they were having. Having already had a bad relation with his father who was a functioning alcoholic, after this, Edward decided to move away. He chose to go to Detroit, Michigan. It seems that Edward decided to really stay there, not seeing his family again, or at least for a while, at least that was the case for his brother Paul[6].
