H. C. HEATH, photographer, is a native of New York City; born May 31, 1831. 
When about 8 years of age, his parents removed to Plattsburg, N. Y., and both 
died there. In April, 1855, he came to Wisconsin, from Randolph, Vt., where he 
had been living a couple of years, and has been a resident of La Crosse since 
that time. He first went into business with his brother, W. F. Heath, as 
contractors and builders, and at the end of three years, added carriage-making 
to their other business, and about six months after, took R. C. Tift as a 
partner. Soon after, H. C. Heath and Tift bought out the interest of W. F. 
Heath, and carried on carriage-making exclusively, under the firm name of 
Heath & Tift. Two years after, Mr. Heath sold out to his partner, and 
purchased the daguerrean rooms of J. S. Patten, and has been in that business 
ever since, except five years, from the fall of 1868 till the fall of 1873, in 
the grocery business. Mr. Heath, in company with his brother, built the first 
steam shingle-mill in the city of La Crosse, for C. L. Coleman, and, while in 
the daguerrean business, drew the plans and specifications, and superintended 
the building of Mr. Coleman's second mill, which was afterward burned. He is 
now Grand Recorder of the Ancient Order of United Workmen for the State of 
Wisconsin, and has held that office ever since the order was established in 
the State.
