Henry J. Schaefer was a charter member of the Capitol Heights Volunteer Fire Department. We have found census records indicating that Mr. Schaefer was a veteran of the Spanish American War.
We have uncovered some of his family history and are still researching his military service at this time. We will post updates as they become available.
The Capitol Heights Volunteer Fire Department is a non-profit organization that provides fire and emergency services for the town of Capitol Heights and surrounding communities.
