Argus – Week of June 2, 1883 Mrs. Eliza S. Heath Sad to the memory of all, that great monster death has again visited our community and taken from our midst our neighbor and highly esteemed lady friend, Mrs. Eliza S. Heath who departed this life Saturday 26, inst, after a long and severe illness which she bore with great patience and Christian fortitude. During her prostrated illness she accepted her condition and frequently expressed herself as being ready to meet her destiny. She was never heard to mummer or grumble and did all she could in her feeble condition to make those around her feel pleasant and agreeable and especially her visiting friends. The path which she marked out was that of a Christian lady. She was born in Jones county Ga., in the year 1818. At an early age she united herself with the Methodist church and lived and died in the faith. Was a devoted wife, a kind and affectionate mother, a benevolent and charitable neighbor, ever ready to respond to the distresses of suffering humanity. The burial which took place on Sunday following at the family graveyard was largely attended by relatives, neighbors and friends. The funeral service were conducted by Rev. Mr. Glenn, a Methodist minister, who preached a solemn and impressive sermon from the word, “I will gather thee unto they father’s house.” The sympathies of the community are extended to the family in this their sad bereavement and especially to the lone son, who but a few months past witnessed the burial of a brother and an only sister..
