- Christopher C. Heath
CHRISTOPHER C. HEATH, born in Ohio Township, Warrick Co., Ind., August 29, 1835, is the eldest of three children born to Henry H. and Mary P. (Gay) Heath. In 1824 Henry H. Heath, together with his parents, immigrated to Indiana, many portions of the State at that time having no settlement of whites whatever. They located near the present site of Boonville, where for many years he farmed, taught school and was employed as pilot on the river. Christopher C. remained at home until he attained majority, securing a good common school education. In 1866 he began working at carpentering in connection with farming, which combined industries he successfully followed until 1883. May 1, l856, he was united in marriage with Miss Mary Bass, who was born February 6, 1834, the daughter of Richard Bass, a native of Kentucky, who removed to Posey County, Ind., at a very early day. Three of the six children born to them are yet living, named Almarinda, Arminda and Robert S. Industry and frugality have brought about their legitimate reward in Mr. Heath's case, as he began poor and now owns a good farm of eighty acres. He is one of the township's best citizens.
