Death of Mr. Frank Heath.
Ernul, N. C., April 19. -- Mr. J. F. Heath, one of Craven county's most noted citizens and an ex-confederate soldier passed away Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock, April 14th, at the home of his son, Mr. C. J. Heath at this place.
Mr. Heath was born Jan. 14, 1836 being 76 years and 4 months old when he died. He was in the Civil War from the very beginning. While in the war he suffered prison life and was also put under fire on Sullivan's Island, the terrors and tortures of which he never forgot.
After the war he settled to farm life and was a good friend and neighbor to all suffering humanity that came within his knowledge and had sympathy with all interests for general advancement.
He was married twice during his life and raised several sons and daughters who are making some of our best citizens. He has been a member of the Free Will Baptist church for many years and was always a faithful servant of his Lord's and always did his duty to his church to the very best.
Mr. Heath's health was bad for years before he died but he bore it with sweet patience. His last attack confined him to a bed of intense suffering. For three weeks so bad was his suffering he prayed to go, and he was sure of eternal rest. Many loving friends ministered to him to the very last trying to releave him of his pain. Nothing was left undone that mortal could do.
He was put to his final rest by the side of his first wife, Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, Rev. Mr. Laughinghouse conducted the funeral services and Rev. Mr. Toles of Edwards conducted the services at the grave. He was buried by the Order of Charitable Brotherhood of Edwards, N. C.
