Born on March 14, 1930 in Carroll, he was the son of Clarence and Lorraine (Wohlenberg) Heuton. Duane grew up on the Heuton family farm north of Lidderdale and he was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Lidderdale. He graduated from Carroll High School in 1947 and was married to Betty Johnston on January 22, 1949 in Omaha. The couple lived near Lidderdale for several years before moving to a farm near Nemaha in Sac County where they farmed and raised their family. Duane and Betty moved back to the home place north of Lidderdale in 1970 where he continued to farm and operated a corn shelling and trucking business. Duane retired in 1990 when he and Betty moved to their current home in Carroll. In retirement he helped his sons John and Jeff in their construction business. Duane enjoyed fishing, gardening, making salsa and barbeque sauce, canning pickles, going to the casino, going to coffee with the boys at Hy-Vee, but most of all spending time with his family and many good friends.
