Death has once more entered our village and
taken one of its oldest residents. Edwin Heath
died Thursday at 10:30 after an illness of two
weeks, during which time there were days of
the most intense agony for him. For years he
has suffered sick spells from various causes,
heart disease being the most frequent, but the
last illness was caused by an affection of the
kidneys and the gall. This time his case was
beyond the power of medical skill and the lov-
ing ministrations of his devoted family. Mr.
Heath was born in the town of Malone, New
York, January 21, 1832. At the age of 17
he came to Wisconsin with his parents. In
the early years of his manhood he passed
through many interesting and exciting exper-
iences having twice driven from Waupaca,
Wisconsin across the plains to Colorado, and
to hear him repeat tales of his western life
was like reading a book of adventure. In May
1875, he moved to Spencer with his family and
engaged in the drug business, continuing in
that business until a few years ago when his
failing health unfitted him for the occupation.
His friendly genial manner won him many
friends, and by his long residence here, no
man in this vicinity was more widely known or
possessed warmer friends than he. He is sur-
vived by his wife and three sons, Frank, Grant
and Edward of Spencer, and two daughters,
Mrs. Carrie Damon of Spencer, and Mrs. Irene
Gross of Kenmore, N. Dakota; and there are
thirteen grand-children and one great-grand-
child. The funeral was held at the house Sat-
urday afternoon, Rev. D. S. Householder offi-
ciating. The floral offerings from the W. C. T.
U. the R. N. A. and relatives and friends were
beautiful and so abundant that the casket was
more than covered....
