He married Anna Harder, and together they had one son, William. She then died a little over 12 months later. Now with a small child, Henry married Anna Unrau, and together they had five children, Henry who died in infancy, Alma, Arnold, Henry, and Rosa.
A farmer, Mr. Hiebert retired in 1955. As a farmer he raised chickens for eggs, sheep for wool, and planted a couple of large gardens.
He was a member of the Evangelical Mennonite Brethren Church, and had served as a Deacon.
His hobbies included fishing and wood working, many of his wooden creations, given as gifts, still survive to this day. He was also a harmonica and squeeze-box player, sometimes playing with his wife, for a church request-night service (called Christian Endeavour).
Survivors include his wife, Anna; three sons, William of Dallas, Arnold of Independence, and Henry of Idanha; two daughters, Miss. Alma Hiebert a missionary to the hills of Kentucky; and Mrs. Levi (Rosa) Thiessen of Dallas; 18 grandchildren; and two great grandchildren.
It was cold and lightly snowing the day we laid Grandpa Hiebert to rest in the Dallas Cemetery, there was a light frosting of snow on the ground.

A grandson shared a memory:
"My best memory was sitting in the church balcony with Grandpa Hiebert during church convention time. They had a mass choir and a conductor who was wildly waving a baton. It was hot and all the windows were open and all of a sudden his baton slipped out of his hand and flew out the window. We laughed so hard we both left and finished out in the parking lot."
Another memory of Grandpa Hiebert:
Grandpa Hiebert took me fishing a bunch of times at Humbug Lake near Independence. We used bamboo poles with no reel, just a line, cork and hook. We caught lots of crappies. One time he slipped, fell in and lost his glasses. The next few times we always went to the same place. I asked him why we always went there and he said he was hoping to catch the fish that was wearing his glasses.
