Mrs. Frances E. Heath Dead

On January 27, 1927, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. H. L. Hart, in this city, with whom she resided for the past five years, Mrs. Frances Eliza Heath passed away.

Frances Eliza Newmaker was born in Mercer [County], Pennsylvania on April 15, 1852. At an early age she gave her heart to the master and united with the Baptist church, retaining her membership until her death, but gladly working in all organizations for good wherever she lived.

On January 1, 1869, she was united in marriage with Jerome J. Heath, and with came to Kansas forty-seven years ago with two children. They located near Adams Peak in the county [Pottawatomie] where four more children were born.

Mrs. Heath met the privations and joys of life common to the early settlers and in that great company of pioneers there was no woman who gave more freely of her time and talents than the deceased. She was a woman of culture and refinement. The kind we boast as true American women, and aided in all movements to make men and women better and happier. She met the sorrows of life nobly and gave comfort and cheer and encouragement to all she met.

Her husband, and infant child [Grace Fay, buried in Adams Peak Cemetery] and two sons, Charles Heath and Earl Heath preceded her to the other world.

For such characters as Mrs. Heath we believe that the other world will hold few surprises for her faith was ever sure and certain.

She leaves surviving her a son, Jerome A. Heath, of Harrison, Arkansas; and two daughters, Mrs. E.M. [Sylvia L. "Louie"] White of Olsburg, Kansas, and Mrs. H. L. [Bernice] Hart of Westmoreland, Kansas, a number of children and grandchildren and a great circle of loving and admiring friends.

The funeral services were held at nine a.m. Saturday morning at the home of Mrs. Heath's daughter, Mrs. H. L. Hart, where she had been living for some years. The services were conducted by Rev. W. E. Burdette, pastor of the M.E. church. The body was taken to Ottawa for burial and was accompanied by H. L. Hart and family, Rev. Burdette, Mrs. E. C. Cree, Mrs. Fred Grutzmacher and Cleve Zabel. The services at the cemetery were conducted by Dr. A.W. Elliott, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Ottawa, Mrs. Heath being a member of that church. Dr. Elliot was her pastor while she lived in Ottawa.
