A telegram was received by Judge M. H. Sullivan yesterday from G. F. Talmadge, of Seattle, announcing the death of John H. Heath at that place on Tuesday, Aug. 1st, at 2 o'clock p.m. His friends here will be grieved to learn of the sad tidings.
John H. Heath was born in Cortland County, N.Y., Jan. 11th, 1832. At the age of six years, removed to Knox County, Ohio, and resided there with his parents until 1848. Removed to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, and went into business with his father. Subsequently was engaged in farming for three years in Iowa, and in 1864 came to Hastings. He was married to Miss Virginia Stultz, of New York, in 1853, who together with three sons, Henry M., of St. Paul, George M., of La Crosse, Wis., and William M., and two daughters, Mrs. Anna Thurmond, of Thomasville, Ga., and Mrs. Hattie M. Talmadge, of Seattle, Wash., survive him.
While a resident of this city Mr. Heath held various positions of trust and prominence among which were city clerk, clerk of court, to which office he was appointed in 1876, and which position he held for several years. He was agent for the United States Express Company, and for about thirty years agent for the Diamond Jo line of steamboats until failing health necessitated a change of climate, when he and his estimable wife removed to Seattle about a year ago to take up residence. Mr. Heath was also in the grocery business here in the early days, and his active life in business circles, as well as his own personal worth gave him a wide acquaintance, with friends by whom he was held in the highest esteem. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and was one of its most zealous workers. He was a fond husband, father and friend, and a loyal citizen and as such his memory will be deeply revered.
