Early life

John William Heavey was born in Vandalia, Illinois on February 19, 1867 and graduated from Vandalia High School in 1884.[1] He graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1891, receiving his commission as a Second Lieutenant of Infantry.

A member of one of West Point's earliest football teams, Heavey was the right guard on Army's offensive line during the first Army-Navy Game in 1890.[3]

In 1898 Heavey joined the 11th Infantry for the Spanish–American War, serving in Puerto Rico, including battles at Hormigueros and Las Marias and assignment as commander of the post at Mayaguez. He remained on duty in Puerto Rico until 1902, when he was assigned to the Philippines, including a posting to Camp Jossman and action against the Moros on Mindanao and Jolo.[4]

In 1904 Heavey was assigned to Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming. He served there until 1905, when he went to the University of Wyoming as Professor of Military Science.[5]

In 1908 Heavey was assigned to duty in Cuba with the 11th Infantry, remaining until 1911 when he was promoted to major and carried out assignments at Fort D. A. Russell and Fort Sam Houston.[2]

Heavey graduated from the United States Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth in 1912 and the United States Army War College in 1913.[6]

From 1913 to 1914 Heavey was assigned as regular Army advisor to the Massachusetts National Guard, and from 1914 to 1916 he was a member of the staff at the Militia Bureau.[2][7]

In 1916 Heavey served on the Mexican border with the 9th Infantry during the Pancho Villa Expedition. Now a lieutenant colonel, he was then assigned to Fort Niagara as the commander and senior instructor for the Officer Training School.[3]

From August, 1918 to February, 1919 he served as acting Chief of the Militia Bureau when incumbent Jesse McI. Carter was assigned to command the 11th Infantry Division.[8]

Heavey’s World War I duties included responsibility for National Guard soldiers assigned to guard utilities and railroads within the United States to protect them from sabotage.[9]

From 1923 to 1926 he served at Fort Clayton, Panama Canal Zone and successively commanded the 20th and 33rd Infantry Regiments.[8]
