Mrs. Micager Heath

Mrs. Antonett Riley Heath, whose remains were brought to Butler Sunday
afternoon, was born in the northern section of this county the 12th day of
February, 1845, and was the daughter of the Hon. Jeff Riley, a very prominent
citizen of the county, socially, politically and financially.  She was also a
sister of Judge Homer Riley, late of this county.

At the age of sixteen, Mrs. Heath joined the Antioch Baptist church and of which
she remained a faithful member until the time of her death.

Her husband, Mr. Micager Heath, preceded her departure years ago, leaving Mrs.
Heath with three daughters, Miss Carrie, who was afterwards happily married to
Mr. F.E. Cosey; Miss Lila, who became the bride and affectionate wife of Mr.
Oliver Bazemore; and Miss Hattie, the wife of Mr. W.E. Bazemore, and who alone
is left of the happy family circle to mourn her mother’s death.

Mrs. Heath’s life was one in which sorrow and sadness were much commingled with
the sunlight of peace and happiness.  Years ago the horizon of her life was
over-spread with dark clouds of sorrow caused by the death of her only son, then
about four years of age, and to her the sun never shone brightly again, neither
did the beauty and glory of this earth have for her any charms, and thus she
passed away in physical darkness, but not spiritual; for the life which she had
given to God through Christ, was by His power, kept unto eternal life.

The remains of Mrs. Heath were interred in the Antioch cemetery Monday, the 9th
of December, the funeral services were conducted by Rev. J.T. Adams, witnessed
by a large concourse of sympathizing relatives and friends.

Card of Thanks

Words are inadequate to express how much I appreciate the kindness, sympathy and
help that was given me by the good people of Butler, after the death of my
mother, Mrs. S.A. Heath.  Especially do I thank Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Bazemore for
their kindness.  May God’s richest blessings ever rest with each and every one
of them.

Mrs. W.E. Bazemore
