Heath - Squire
Source: Crawfordsville Sunday Star Jan 14, 1901
No death occurring during the winter occasioned more surprise than that of Squire S. Heath, who died on Sunday night at his home on South Washington Street. He had been feeling badly for a day or so but had been confined to his bed only 36 hours when his death came. He had been suffering from a slow fever but would not give up and take the rest that he needed. The immediate cause of his death was peritonitis. He leaves a wife and three young daughters. He came to this city a few months ago and entered the fruit commission business and was prospering nicely when death came. He was a man of first class business principles and was respected by all who knew him. His funeral was on Tuesday and was conducted by Rev. SH Goss of the ME Church. It was under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias. Interment was at Oak Hill. - transcribed by kbz

Sunday night at 10:45 o’clock at his home on South Washington Street, Squire S. Heath died of peritonitis after an illness of a few days. Mr. Heath had not been feeling well since Thanksgiving, but did not give up until last Friday, when he came home and steadily grew worse. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon from the residence and was in charge of the Knights of Pythias, of which order Mr. Heath had long been a member. The funeral discourse was delivered by Rev. S. W. Goss, of the First Methodist Church, assisted by Dr. J. H. Cissel, and the interment was at Oak Hill. Squire S. Heath was born in 1857, near Alamo, and lived most of his life there, having been engaged in business in Alamo for a number of years. Sixteen years ago last Christmas he was married to Sarah Webster, who, with three daughters, survives. Mr. Heath moved to this city about three years ago and engaged in the commission business. He was a hard working and energetic business man and had made many friends here. He had long been a member of the Methodist Church, and his sudden death comes with telling force on his bereaved wife and children. - s
