CLARENCE A. HESHIZER

  Clarence A. Heshizer, 8450 Dersam Street, Pittsburgh, a veteran of the first 
World War, was laid to rest on Monday, March 24, in Calvary Cemetery.  The 
funeral was from the Wareham Chapel, Wilkinsburg, with requiem high mass at 10 
a.m., in the Church of Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament, of which he was a 
member.
  Born in Roxbury, this county, he had lived in the Wilkinsburg-Pittsburgh 
district 35 years.  For more than 25 years he had been employed by the 
Pittsburgh Meter Company, where he collapsed February 10 while at work.  He was 
first taken to the Veterans Hospital in Aspinwall, but since February 28 had 
been in the Veterans Hospital in Chillicothe, O., where he died last Thursday.
  During the first World War he was a first class private in Company D, 318th 
Infantry, 80th Division, AEF.
  He leaves his widow, Mrs. Bertha A. Frey Heshizer; a son, William H. of 
Harmonsburg, Pa.; his mother, Mrs. Amaretta Heshizer, of Pittsburgh; a grandson, 
four sisters, Miss Minerva Heshizer, Meyersdale; Miss Nell Heshizer and Mrs. Amy 
Sheffel, of Pittsburgh, and Mrs. Sarah Deist, of Turtle Creek, and two brothers, 
George, of Turtle Creek and James, of Wilkinsburg.
  Pallbearers were World War Veterans, and the many floral tributes were a 
testimonial of the high esteem in which he was held by his comrades and friends.
