Add to My HeroesCloyd LeRoy Hearn
Patrol Officer Clyde Hearn was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver while on foot patrol on Cameron Street.
He had just checked in using the radio call box and stepped into the street to flag down to passing officers. The officer did not see him and drove by. Another car then struck Officer Hearn, causing fatal injuries. The driver of the car fled the scene. The man was later identified when he committed suicide by lighting himself on fire before he could be arrested.
Officer Hearn was a U.S. Army veteran of WWI and was wounded in action on July 19, 1918, due to shrapnel wounds during the battle of Château-Thierry. He had served with the Harrisburg Police Bureau for almost seven years. He was survived by his wife and four children.

On today, the 90th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army as a member of the 3rd “Marne” Division fighting the Germans during World War I. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
Rock Of The Marne!
