JOHN P. HEINZMAN DIES OF HEART DISEASE
Was Station Keeper at Central Police Station Five Years.
John P. Heinzman, station-keeper at Central police station and a former ballplayer, died at 3:45 o'clock yesterday morning at his home, 419 L Street, from heart disease, caused by a fall last February in which he suffered three fractured ribs. He was confined to his home for seven weeks and soon after resuming his station on April 25 complications developed and he was again compelled to lay off.
Mr. Heinzman was 49 years old and the son of the late John Heinzman, who was one of the first men to organize baseball in Louisville. The elder Heinzman played ball with Pete Browning, Fred Pfeffer and other stars and was the head of the Eagle-eye team.
At the age of 22, having won distinction as an amateur ballplayer, young Heinzman began to play professional baseball with the Atlanta team in the Southern League. He later went with the Augusta, S. C., team. Four years later his arm became sore and he returned to Louisville, becoming manager of the old Grimes and Gary team. He retired from baseball about ten years ago. He was a metal polisher by trade.
Mr. Heinzman was appointed to the police force October 25, 1902, and was made station-keeper at Central station shortly after the inauguration of Mayor W. O. Head in 1909. He was held in high regards by his fellow-officers and by newspaper men, to whom he gave tips on stories. For two years he had been treasurer of the Louisville Police Union.
He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Julia Heinzman; a brother, George Heinzman; four sisters, Miss Mayme Heinzman, Mrs. Albert Arts and Mrs. Harry J. Couchman, of this city and Mrs. William Fiedler, of Frankfort.
Funeral services will be held at 8:45 o'clock tomorrow morning at the residence and at 9 o'clock at the Holy Name church. Burial will be in St. Louis Cemetery. (Thank you contributor Gary Powell).
