Warren Heeter
Died February 11 at Home on Washington Avenue
 
  Thursday a note appeared in the Herald Announcing the death of Warren 
Heeter, one of the best known young men in town.  The sad news of his 
death cast a gloom among his host of friends who regret very much to 
hear of his passing away.  The young man had been in failing health for 
some time past, his first sickness dating back to a severe attack of 
rheumatism which he passed through a couple of years ago, leaving his 
physical condition fearfully shattered.  About a year ago he went to 
the Pacific coast, hoping that the change of climate would restore his 
health.  He only remained away a short time, however, and later went to 
Mt. Alto, Pa. sanitarium, where he continued treatment, with no 
apparent relief.  He returned home and had been failing fast ever 
since.  Warren Heeter was the only son of Frederick (deceased) and Mary 
Heeter, and was born in Tyrone on March 4, 1882, and had lived here all 
his life.  Shortly after leaving school, he secured a position as a 
telegraph operator on the Middle division P.R.R., which position he 
held up until he was forced to retire from active work.  Warren Heeter 
was a splendid young fellow, affable, kind and well liked by all who 
knew him, and his death so early in life is certainly deplorable.  
Early in life he became a member of the First Methodist Church and was 
quite active in the Sunday school, Epworth League and the Wesleyan 
circle.  In these branches of the church work, he will be greatly 
missed as he was one of the members that could be depended upon to do 
something.  He is survived by his mother and one sister, Miss Ruth, at 
home.  His father preceded him to the grave in 1907.  Funeral services 
were conducted at the home, corner of Washington Avenue and Eleventh 
Street, Saturday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock, in charge of Reverend  W. 
W. Hartman, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church. Interment 
in Grand View Cemetery, Tyrone, Pa.
