(Cedartown Standard, Thursday, November 21, 1918) 
Miss Mamie Agnes Heath, is dead. The strong-bodied, pure minded woman who has 
nursed hundreds of sick people at St. Luke Hospital, died last night after a 
losing struggle of a week with influenza and pneumonia and there is an air of 
sadness among her friends. The announcement that Mamie Heath is gone passed 
from mouth to mouth and from home to home in the city early Monday morning, and 
caused profound sorrow among those who knew and loved the faithful worker whose 
life has been ended in the midst of its usefulness. Miss Heath has been 
connected with St. Luke’s for the past twelve months, and had a wide circle of 
acquaintances. She became ill with influenza a week ago, developed pneumonia, 
and with anxious friends , sister nurses and active physicians working over her 
fevered form, she breathed her last surrounded by those whom she had labored so 
long and faithfully. Everybody was her friend, and if she had an enemy the 
world knew nothing of it. During the period of hard work, Miss Heath remained 
on duty for many days and nights, and was ever ready to serve those who came 
under her care. She was twenty-eight years of age, and had spent most of that 
time in the service of others. She is survived by her father and mother, two 
sisters and one brother and of her sisters Mr. Bradley is a member of the same 
staff, and in the bereavement which has come to them the stricken family has 
the deep sympathy of those who knew and loved the bright faced woman whose 
cheering words and ready hand have ever been ready in the service of sick and 
suffering patients at the Hospital. The body of the dead nurse goes to Jennifer 
Monday afternoon. From the home there it will be sent Tuesday to the former 
home in Cedartown, GA., for interment; and while the mortal part of Mamie Heath 
moulders in the grave there, her spirit and influence will live here among the 
people who knew her for what she was. (Cedartown Standard, Thursday, November
