Schlitzie the Pinhead.
Those who knew Schlitzie described him as an affectionate, exuberant, sociable person who loved dancing, singing and being the center of attention, performing for anyone he could stop and talk to.
Schlitzie was initially interred in an unmarked grave at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Rowland Heights. In 2009, a fan took up a collection to have a marker placed at Schlitzie's grave.
Schlitzie!
Simon "Schlitzie" Metz, a.k.a. Schlitzie Surtees (1891?-1971).
I named my blog after this extraordinary person!
