James Easter Heathman (1917-2008) was an American farmer and U.S. Army veteran. As a teenager, he witnessed the crash of a Transcontinental & Western Air airliner in 1931, which claimed the lives of eight people, including Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne. At 13, he discovered the crash site with his father and became the last living witness. In his later years, Heathman became a historian for Knute Rockne and conducted free tours of the crash site for Notre Dame fans, particularly during the last two decades of his life.
