OBITUARY
 
William Seward Heizer was born at Lawrence, Kansas on July 7, 1861.  In 1864 
he, with his parents, and two sisters, moved to Medipolis, Iowa.  At the age 
of seven years he united with the Presbyterian church at Kasuth, Iowa, to 
which faith he has always been true.
 
On March 6, 1907 he was united in marriage to Mary Ellen Greenlee at the 
Baptist church in Boulder, Colorado.  To this union were born two children, 
William Earl and Ellen L. both of Payette, also two children by a former 
marriage, Mrs. Albert Lake of Payette and William Seward Heizer, Jr., of 
Cascade, Idaho, and two step-sons John R. Greenlee of Payette and Everett L. 
Greenlee of Comin Lake, British Columbia.  Seven grand children and one half 
sister, Carrie Heizer Braden of Wellman, Iowa.  These with the wife, still 
survive to mourn the loss of a kind, loving husband and father.  (Unreadable) 
of the last two years he has been failing in health, but always had a kind and 
loving word for his family and a ready smile for his many friends.
 
He passed away very suddenly from this life on January 21, 1931, at the age of 
69 years, 6 months and 14 days.
 
In the passing of William Seward Heizer the family not only suffered a great 
loss, but the entire community, for he was a loyal, useful citizen, and in 
deeper friendship one could appreciate more fully his noble traits of 
character.
 
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the Methodist church in Payette, 
conducted by Rev. H. F. Knight, assisted by Rev. Sam Ballinger, his former 
pastor in Payette, and among his remarks on his life he said in part, "His 
presence in the pew was an inspiration."
 
The many friends that gathered to pay their last respects to him and the 
beautiful floral offerings were a silent token of the high esteem in which he 
was held.  He was layed to rest in the Weiser cemetery.
