Chamberlin Democrat  (1922) 
Early Resident of Bijou Hills Has Passed Away  

Jonathan Heath, one of the early residents of this country, who in 1882 
homesteaded on the west side of the gap at Bijou Hills, died at the home of 
his daughter, Mrs. J. N. Hoover on Friday. Nov. 3, 1922.  Mr. Heath was one of 
the well known pioneers of the Missouri river country, and did his share in 
developing and beautifying this section of the great west which he loved.
Born in Troy, New York in 1844, Mr. Heath came to Michigan with his parents as 
a boy.  When the civil war broke out, he enlisted in the army from Michigan, 
and served three years and three months, receiving an honorable discharge at 
the end of the great conflict.  He was with Sherman’s memorable army which 
made the march from “Atlanta to the sea”.
Last July Mrs. Heath passed away, after a lingering illness, and Mr. Heath 
followed her only four months later.  The funeral was held Monday at the J. N. 
Hoover residence, services being conducted by Rev. F. J. Brown of Bijou 
Hills.  The remains were laid away in Union Cemetery beside those of his wife, 
to await the glorious day when the faithful shall be called to receive their 
reward.
One by one the old times are going.  While we think this country is still new, 
the lives of noble men and women have been devoted to bringing it to the state 
of development which we enjoy today.  May we be able to rendered good account 
for tour efforts as they have done.
