HENRY HEATH

 THE DEATH has taken place in London of a Newburian named Henry Heath, more generally known by the name of “Mac”, bestowed upon him by his friends as a consequence of a certain recitation he was frequently called upon to give at social gatherings.  He was employed at the Globe Hotel for many years, and latterly had been in ill-health.   On medical advice, he took a trip to the Channel Islands, and on his return to London, spent a few days with a relative.  During a fit of coughing he burst a blood vessel and died shortly afterwards.

 

 Also –    He died at the Union Infirmary, Deptford, London

              In his will he left £314. 17s 6d
