Arthur graduated from
Parma-Shaff High School in 1936, he then attended Max Hays Trade School on
Eagle Ave. (now Herman Ave.) in Cleveland, Ohio. The Max Hays Trade School had
a four year carpenter's apprentice course where Art studied part-time and
worked for his father the rest of the time.
Art was one of the first
men to be drafted by the new Selective Service 25 February 1941. He was
inducted at Ft. Hays, Ohio on 28 February 1941 and then on to Chanute Field, IL
for Airplane Mechanic training. In November of 1942 Art went to flight school
training in Santa Ana, CA and was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant (SN O-750985)
in the US Army Air Corps 28 July 1943, then on to "four engine pilot"
school in Roswell, NM until 4 October 1943. From 5 October 1943 through 31 December
1943 Art was stationed with the 678th Sq., 444th Bomber Group in Great Bend,
KS.
On 1 January 1944, the
444th BG was deployed to India where it stay until 14 January 1945 when it then
deployed to Tinian of the Mariana Islands. Art was commissioned a 1st
Lieutenant 1 March 1944. Art was with the 444th BG until 24 July 1945 when he
was detached and sent back to the "states" to be separated. Art was
separated from active service 6 January 1946.
Lt. Arthur Heise flew 28
combat missions and had 350 combat hours in B-24's and B-29's during this time.
On 14 February 1945 he was awarded the "Distinguished Flying Cross"
in General Order 42 from the 20th Air Force for the period from 9 May 1944 to 7
January 1945. He also received three "Air Medals" during his time
overseas.
After Art was separated
from active service, he returned to Great Bend, KS and worked for Jeanette's
father on their farm. Art then moved to Cleveland, Ohio and worked for his
father in Heise Homes, Inc. At night he would play the piano in nightspots in
and around Cleveland (Art was an accomplished pianist). He then returned to
Kansas and worked on Jeanette's father's farm in Great Bend.
Lt. Arthur Heise was
promoted to Captain in the USAF Reserves 13 February 1950, and was recalled to
active duty 26 February 1951 when he was confirmed as a Captain in the USAF.
Capt. Heise was transferred to the 372nd Bomber Sq., 307th Bomber Wing, 20th
Bomber Command, SAC in Kadina AFB in Okinawa 1 October 1952 after receiving
refresher training in the B-29.
Capt. Arthur Heise was the
Aircraft Commander of a B-29 Bomber flying out of Kadina AFB in Okinawa during
the Korean War. On 10 January 1953, he was on a bombing mission over the Anju
Marshaling Yard, as part of "Stardust" flight--Art's plane was
Stardust 39--when his B-29 (Aircraft Number 44-61802) was hit by enemy fire
from "Migs" immediately prior to bombs away (2038 hours). Stardust's
fighter escort was not with them because they had been briefed to join up with
Stardust 37, 30 minutes later--either Stardust was early or the fighter escort
was late. Immediately following bombs
away and while still under attack the aircraft started losing altitude. A
"Mayday" call was received from the aircraft at 2048 hours. At 2053
hours the aircraft commander reported "Hit Bad, have wounded men, will try
to get to K-13". After crossing the river Chinnampo, at 2106 hours the
aircraft commander reported "We are bailing out, number-three engine on
fire". Twelve of thirteen members of the crew bailed out--and reported
that they never saw Capt. Heise' parachute. Capt. Heise flew the burning B-29
toward friendly lines whil eUSAF Fighter Jets followed him, however, the B-29
continued to descend until it hit the side of a mountain (BT 7550) at
approximately 2117 hours and exploded. It is believed that Capt. Heise was
trying to get as close to friendly lines as possible before deciding to bail
out, and possibly thought that he could make it over the ridge of the mountain
that he finally crashed into. When friendly forces got to the wreckage, there was
no trace of Capt. Heise. All twelve crew members were repatriated under
"Operation Big Switch", and another POW (a Major David F.
MacGhee)reported that a Chinese interrogator informed him that the North
Koreans had found Capt. Heise' remains in the wreckage. Capt. Heise was
declared dead 12 January 1954 and a M.I.A. marker was placed in Arlington
National Cemetery, Memorial Section H-391.
Capt. Heise flew 16 combat missions and had 110 combat hours in B-29's and was
awarded a fourth "Air Medal" during this time. He was awarded the
"Silver Star" and "Purple Heart" posthumously.
Capt. Heise' Citation for
the Silver Star was authorized by the Far East Air Forces Headquarters General
Orders Number 215 on 2 May 1953 and read as follows: "Captain Arthur
Heise, AO750985, United States Air Force. Captain Heise distinguished himself
by gallantry in action against an enemy of the United Nations as Aircraft
Commander of a B-29 type aircraft, 372d Bombardment Squadron, 307th Bombardment
Wing, Medium, on 10 January 1953. On that date, approximately five minutes
before reaching the assigned target, two members of the crew were wounded and two
engines and the elevator surfaces were so seriously damaged by enemy fighter
attacks that it was impossible to maintain the assigned bombing altitude.
Considering the importance of the target, the Auju Marshaling Yards, Captain
Heise elected to complete the mission, and descended to emergency altitude to
continue the bomb run. [It should be pointed out that a big part of a bomber's
defense is to stay with the flight group, once separated from the flight group,
the enemy fighters will be drawn to the lone bomber like wolves to a wounded
calf.] Despite continued enemy fighter attacks, Captain Heise successfully
bombed the assigned target, and headed the aircraft toward a friendly forward
airfield. Even though abandonment of the aircraft was imminent, Captain Heise
chose to attempt reaching an emergency airfield in order to provide greater
safety for his wounded crew members and insure immediate medical attention.
However, afire in the aircraft necessitated a bail-out. Captain Heise's
decision to delay abandonment of the aircraft greatly enhanced the chances of survival
of his wounded crew members by allowing them sufficient time to prepare for
bail-out. The exceptional gallantry and devotion to duty displayed by Captain
Heise were in keeping with the highest traditions of the service, and reflected
great credit upon himself, the Far East Air Forces, and the United States Air
Force."
It only needs to be said
that Art never forgot that he was an enlisted man first and all his crew
genuinely liked and respected him, as evident by the communications that Art's
wife has received since the end of the Korean War.
Jeanette remarried one
year after Art's death on 29 January 1954 in Great Bend, Barton County, KS to
Robert William Earl, son of Orrin Kinsley Earl and Dorothea Rouse. Jeanette and
Robert had two sons who are half-brothers to Richard and Robert. At some point
after Jeanette married Robert Earl, her two sons from Art, Richard and Robert,
changed their last name from Heise to Earl. It is unclear, at this time,
whether Robert William Earl adopted Richard and Robert Heise. Jeanette is
buried next to Art in Arlington National Cemetery (or so we have been told).

long southern route around the bottom of New Zealand and Australia. They then traveled
to Ledo, India (the Ledo Road connects to the Burma Road which then leads to
Chungking, China) and from there to Myitkyina (pronounced Mish-shin-now),
Kachin State in Northern Burma where they built a "Heavy Shop". The
1575th departed the CBI theater of operations 11 February 1946 and arrived back
in the USA on 8 March 1946. Ray reached the rank of "Technician 4th

March 1946.
Ray then went back to his
old job at General Electric Company and worked there for thirty years until
October of 1969. He then began work at Romanoff Electric Motor Service and
worked there for thirteen years. Ray then began work at Monaich Electric Motor
Service and worked there for eleven years. Ray retired in June of 1994.

When Ferdinard was twenty years
old he was brought over to the USA in 1914 by his twenty-three year old brother
Otto, along with his seventeen year old sister Olga. Ferd and Olga traveled
overland from Plock, Kingdom of Poland, Russia to Warsaw, and then to Bremen,
Germany and boarded on 16 May 1914 the ship "SS Prinz Friedrich
Wilhelm" of the North German Lloyd Steamship Line and sailed on 17 May
1914 to New York City, NY arriving on 25 May 1914 at Ellis Island, NY.
Ida was born 30 November 1897 in Wilkow, Kingdom of Poland, Russia. When Ida
was sixteen years old she was brought over to the USA in 1913 by her older
brother Gustav. Gus traveled overland from Briwilno Wulka, (Poland) Russia to
Warsaw, and then to Bremen, Germany and boarded on 8 July 1912 the ship
"SS Koenigin Luise" of the North German Lloyd Steamship Line and
sailed to New York City, NY arriving on 17 July 1912 at Ellis Island, NY. Gus
at first stayed in New York and Connecticut, and then moved to Cleveland, OH.
Ida traveled overland from
Warsaw, (Poland) Russia to Bremen, Germany and then boarded on 10 June 1913 the
ship "SS Kaiser Wilhelm II" of the North German Lloyd Steamship
Line--Express Service--and sailed on 11 June 1913 to New York City, NY arriving
on 18 June 1913 at Ellis Island, NY.
Ferd and Ida attended,
met, and married in the Daisy Ave. German Church of God in Cleveland, OH--the
Pastor was the Rev. Karl Giesser who married them 2 December 1916. Gustave and
Ferd were apprenticed together to a cabinet maker in or near Warsaw, Poland
before they came to the USA, thus, it is possible that Ferd and Ida met through
the former relationship of Gus and Ferd. However, what is known is that, at
first, Gus did not like Ferd and sent Ida to Connecticut, where she was an upstairs
maid for a doctor, in an attempt to keep Ferd away from his younger sister.
When Ferd did learn where Ida was, he went and brought her back to Cleveland,
Ohio, where they then were married. Gus seems to have changed his mind about
Ferd after they were married because Gus supported Ferd on a number of
occasions there after.
Ferd became a USA Citizen on 16 March 1921 in Cleveland, OH.
Ferd began working as a
carpenter on various construction sites, and would travel--in rain or snow--to
the work site on a bicycle with his toolbox tied to the bicycle. One of the
first construction sites that Ferd worked on as a carpenter was the first
"High Level Bridge" in Cleveland. This bridge crosses the Cuyahoga
River and connects Detroit Ave. and Superior Ave., it is now known as Veterans
Memorial Bridge. Ferd then began work as a carpenter on the construction of the
Terminal Tower Building in downtown Cleveland--this building is like a
combination of the Empire State Building and Grand Central Station in New York City--and
the Terminal Tower Building did, at one time, serve the same purpose in
Cleveland as Grand Central Station does in New York City, all the railroads
came together under the building. Next Ferd worked on the construction of City
Hospital (now known as Metro-General Hospital) in Cleveland.
During this time Ferd was
determined to begin his own construction company. Ferd had two problems though,
first, his native language was German and it took a number of years for him to
learn sufficient English in order to operate in the business world, and second,
was the lack of money to start a business. It took Ferd twelve years, but he
was able in 1926 to buy a lot in Parma at 6915 Snow Road (near Ridge Road) and
build a house. Ferd's family lived in the house for about six months until he could
sell it. The proceeds from the sell of this house was the seed money for Ferd's
construction company which he named "Heise Homes."
It was during this time
that the Daisy Ave. German Church of God decided that they wanted to build a
new building so they could stop worshipping in the house that served that
purpose. The people of the congregation mistakenly thought that Ferd was rich
because he had started his own construction company, and asked him to head the
building committee and to construct the new church building. However, some members
of the building committee suggested changes in the plans through-out the
construction but, left it up to Ferd to try to get approval from the whole
building committee--which Ferd discovered was close to impossible--and almost
led to a nervous breakdown for Ferd. In addition, some members assumed that
Ferd could pay for the added cost of all these changes. This caused great
personal difficulty for Ferd and for his infant construction company and this,
plus (even more importantly) dissatisfaction with the current pastor, finally
led to a dispute within the church that resulted in a split of the
congregation. The Heise', Conrad's, Drager's, Fitz's, Keene',
Schattschneider's, Yeske's, and other families associated with the Heise' left
the Daisy Ave. German Church of God, and started attending the English Church
of God. A few years later, in the early 1930's, Ferd decided to return to the
Daisy Ave. German Church of God, possibly because Pastor Warner--whom Ferd
thought was a very good pastor--had become pastor of the church.
Ferd continued to work as
a carpenter for other construction companies and to build houses with his own
construction company, Heise Homes--his best year was in 1932 when he built 15
houses. Ferd built houses in four main areas of Cleveland--Kamms Corner area,
the Fulton Ave./Memphis Ave. area, South Hills area, and the Parma area.
Altogether Ferd built around 100 houses. In the mid-1930's Ferd expanded into selling
used houses and became a Real Estate Broker. Heise Homes had four locations,
first at 95th and Lorain Ave. (rented), second at 126th and Lorain
Ave. (rented), third at 2424 Broadview Road (built, owned, &sold), and
fourth at 5649 Ridge Road (built & owned).
In the early 1950's, Ferd
had a cataract operation on his left eye, and was instructed by the doctors not
to do any work for several months. However, shortly after the operation Ferd
started cleaning out construction material (concrete blocks) from the basement
of his new home at 6396 Manchester Road in Parma, Ohio. The strain caused a
complication and Ferd lost the eye, which resulted in a glass eye.
During the 1950's Ferd
began to turn the business over to his son Harry and began to vacation in
Florida during the winter season. Ferd finally bought a home in Hollywood,
Florida and semi-retired around 1960.
Ferdinard and Ida are
buried next to each other in Sunset Memorial Park Cemetery, Olmsted Township,
Cuyahoga County, Ohio.

Harry graduated from Parma-Shaff
High School in 1940. He then went to work in a high paying factory job ($36.00
per week).
Harry served from 6 April
1942 through 1 January 1947 in the Army Air Force during World War II. He
"flew night interception missions and offensive intruder missions
(night)" in a P-61 "Blackwidow" nightfighter--a twin engine,
twin boom, two man (pilot and navigator/radar observer) interceptor. Harry was
commissioned a 2nd Lt. (SN O-746108) on 20 May 1943 and served with the 426th
Night Fighter Squadron, from 23 February 1944 to 30 June 1945.
"February 1945 saw
the last aerial victory for the P-61 in the CBI. On February 8 the 426th's 1st
Lt. Harry W. Heise [who was awarded the "Distinguished Flying Cross"
on this night, see below], and F/O Robert C. Brock were on patrol in the
Laohokow area when GCI vectored them to a plane that had just dropped its
bombs. Brock made radar contact and the chase was on. For fifteen to twenty
minutes they chased the enemy, going through several hard turns. Finally,
visual contact was made; they were 700 ft. from the target. As he closed to 350
ft., Heise opened fire; the Lily bomber exploded. (Northrop P-61 Black Widow,
Chapter 7)
Harry's award of the
"Distinguished Flying Cross" read in part as follows:
". . . . On the night
of 8 February 1945 they were notified
that enemy aircraft were approaching the Chinese base at which they were stationed.
Although they knew the enemy was but a short distance from their base, they
immediately went to their fighter planes and prepared to take off to intercept
the enemy. As they started the engines of the aircraft, the enemy passed over
the field and dropped fragmentation bombs in the taxiway and runway. Although
unexploded bombs remained on these strips, they taxied to the runway and as
they were taking off a second wave of enemy bombers dropped bombs that struck
between the two planes. The outstanding courage that these pilots demonstrated
in taking off while the field was under attack and before their aircraft were
properly warmed reflects great credit upon themselves and upon the Army Air Forces.
Carl J. Absmeier, O-662618, Captain, Air Corps, Pilot and Harry W. Heise,
O-746108, First Lieutenant, Air Corps, Pilot."
Harry was also awarded the
"Air Medal" and attained the rank of Captain.

Karolina Szachowitz was born
about 1831 and died 3 April 1864 in Zakrzewo, Kingdom of Poland, Russia, just
thirteen days after her newborn son Chrystyan died. Five weeks later, Heinrick
married the twenty year old Karolina Reinholtz, who was born about 1844. Three
and a half years later, Heinrick died.
Two years after Heinrick
died, Karolina married her second husband, Jakob Wehrmann, on 9 December 1869
in the Wyszogrod (pronounced Vis-zo-grot) Lutheran Church.
Samuel and Ludwig may have
been raised by their step-mother and her second husband, Jakob, or they may
have been raised by relatives.
The only thing known about
Heinrick's parents is their names and that they died before Heinrick did, however,
Heinrick's father's first name is not positively clear from the church
documents written in Polish.
