Mary Heath
Died at her home in Canton township, Benton county, Monday Jan. 21, 1895, Mary, daughter of John Heath, age 15 years, 7 months and 14 days. Her life was spent here among the friends to whom she had endeared herself by many winning qualities of mind and heart. Since her sickness began she experienced hope in the Savior. In April she was received for baptism by the Parker's Grove church. Her faith was clear and bright. She fully trusted Him who "Doeth all things well." At last after months and years of suffering patiently borne she passed into rest.
Many moved ones mourn her death, but their loss is her eternal gain. She is with the Savior who took her as with a smile upon her lips she passed to the other shore.
The funeral services were held at Parker's Grove Baptist church conducted by her pastor, Rev. A. T. Shortess, who preached from the words of Jesus as recorded in Luke, "She is not dead but Sleepeth."
