Former Resident on Jones Island, Mrs. Heyer, Dies
Mrs. Emma Heyer, 64, of the family of fisher folk who for decades were residents of the picturesque squatter colony on Jones island, died of a heart attack Wednesday at her home in the town of Lake.
Mrs. Heyer lived on the island, now the site of a municipal harbor and a seweage disposal plant, for 57 years.
