Luke Emerson Heflin was born on a farm northeast of Harlan in the Bowman's Grove area of Jackson Township, Shelby County, Iowa. He was the youngest son of Simeon Grant and Lucy Atwood Pruitt Heflin.
Luke stayed with a family in Harlan so he could attend high school. He met and wed Hulda Mary Obrecht on 8 February 1905 in the bride's family home east of Harlan. They started their married life on a farm near the bride's parents, Sec. 23 T79NR38W. Here their first two children were born: Jay Hoyt and Gaillard Ray.
In 1910 the couple obtained 120 acres of land in Center Township, Shelby County, Iowa, Sec.
27, T39NR38W. Eventually they purchased an additional 40 acres for a total of 160 acres.
They remained on this farm for the rest of Luke's farming career, and three more children were born there: Lela, Helen and Paul.
Luke continued living on that farm following Hulda's death in 1930. In 1943 he had a farm sale and moved into Harlan where he became an agent for the Shelby County Farmer's Mutual Insurance Association.
Luke and Hulda are both buried in the Harlan Cemetery.
