MORTUARY RKPORT.
By A. G. DRURY, M. D.
'

'm':

DR. A. E. HEIGHWAY.

T)K. TlElCHW.AY was born in this city December 26, 1820. His father,

John Ileighway, came here from Immlon, Ivngland, about 1810. His
mother was Mrs. IClixa Allison Ilei^'hway.

She was the only child of

''"5^

General John iMercer, of Newark, N.J. General Mercer served through

the Revolution. In 1789 he came to Cincinnati and bought a farm, and
built a log house on what is now the west side of Main Street, between
Thirteenth and Allison Streets.

In this house Mrs. Heighway was born ;

and I believe her son. the subject of this sketch, was born tlvere also. The
old house is still standing. John Heighway and Miss Mercer were mar
ried in iSii.

The early education of Dr. Heighway wa.s obtained in this city. He

finished his academical studies .at Miami University, O.xford, Ohio.

In

the summer of 1842 he began die study of medicine with I'rof. J. T.

Shotwell, of the Medical College of Ohio, and graduated in this school in
1845. In the spring of 1846 he had made jireparations to enter the navy,
but war having been declared against Mexico he at once entered the
armv. lie was commissioned Assistant Surgeon and assigned to the Kiist
Regiment, Ohio Volunteers, and accompanied the army to Mexico. When

''0' 'yyy:--

W'

the small-pox broke out in the army in Monterey, in (847, he was placed
in charge of a hospital for that disease. When the hospital was no longer
needed he was.assigned to various commands, and was several times
under fire. I-ater he was assigned to the U. S. General Hospital in Mata-

moras, Avhich position he held for eight months. In the .summer of 1S48
he went to Vcra Crn/.. where he remained until the close of the war,

During his term of service he lost but six days; that being caused by an
attack of yellow fever. In the fall of 18.18 he went to Pliiladelphia, where he
attended lectures in the University and JeiTerson Medical College, and the
clinics in the l'enns\'lvania Hospital.

.'

In the spring of 18.^9 he undertook

the study of aualvlical chemistry and metallurgyiii the laboratoryof Prof.

epidemic of cholera. In 1852 the position of surgeon of one of the Van-

'Vf,

derhilt line of steamers between New York, New Orleans aim the isthmus

to the tropics for nearly two years, with the exception of a jiart of the
summer of 1853; then the yellow fever prevailed in New Orleans with
great severitv, and he stopped ofT for one or two trips to render aid to
the sufTerers in that city. In the spring of 1854 he returned to Cincinnati.
In November of 1854 he married MissJosephine M. Culhertsoii, ilaughter

was left with two young chiUlren, whose care ])revented him from going
into active service in the field: but, being anxious to serve, he was at first

assigned to duty at Camp Dennison, and afterwanl in one of the hospitals

in the city. After the war he visited hhirope twice; the first time speinling the winter of 1S66-67 in Paris, where he visited the hospitals.
Dr. Heighway was devoted to the science of medicine, and, indeed, to
scientific study in every dejiartment. Me was a member of the American

'

Medical Association since (851; of the American Association for the

Advancement of Science; an honorary member of the California Slate

DR. HENRY WEST.

I)K. WivST was born in JelTerson County, Ohio, April S, iSio.

He was

educated in the common schools of his native place, getting "a little
Latin and less Greek" from private tutors.

He studied medicine at Mt.

Pleasant with Dr. Wm. Hamilton, a noted physician of his day. He took
his degree in the Medical College of Ohio, in the class of 1835. In accord
ance with the custom of his time, he ])racticed for several years before he
took his degree. After graduating he returned to Bridgeport. In this
])lace he remained until 11841, when he removed to St. Clairsville, where he

'

r..

continued to reside until Ids death. He was married. May 14, 1835, to Miss
Agnes Adeline Kirkwood, of Bridgeport. In 183.8 he w.as elected to the
Legislature for the term of one year. In 1839 he was re-electe<l. Soon

tremendous energy. In his iiolitieal life he was engaged in many fierce

k.

struggles, in most of which he was victorious.

He was several limes

President of the Belmont Medical Society. He was a delegate to the

.American Medical Association when it met in Cincinnati in [850, and

Tuesday, March 29,1921

An entire family ofthree persons was wiped out atnoon Tuesday when Mr. and Mrs. John

HEIGHWAY, ofMacy, and their daughter, Mrs. LONG, ofnear Akron, were instantly killed by a

speeding Winona interurban car that struck the automobile in which they were riding at across road two

miles north of Akron.

According to an eye witness ofthe tragedy, awoman who resides in the neighborhood and saw the
whole affair from adistance ofless than aquarter ofamile, the Heighway car, aFord touring car, was
being driven east across the interurban tracks at what is known as Bear's crossing.
The automobile crossed the tracks and evidently was being driven too fast to make the abrupt turn south
on the road that follows the railroad tracks intoAkron, for the machine was halted.

After but a momentary stop, the car was backed up onto the interurban tracks, evidently to enable the
driver to make the turn south into Akron, when the Winona south bound train due in Akron at about
noon, came along at a speed estimated at approximately 45 to 50 miles an hourandhit the automobile.

The interurban traveled between 200 and 300 feet before being brot to a complete stop and the
automobile was ground to a broken and twisted mass ofwreckage beneath the big car.

The occupants ofthe car were scattered about, the youngest member ofthe party, Mrs. Long, having
beenthrown fully 100 feet from the crossing, where the auto was struck.

All were dead when picked up by the crew and occupants ofthe interurban, having suffered many
broken bones and their skulls were crushed by the terrific impact with the swiftly moving car.
The bodies were taken to Akron.

Mr. and Mrs. John HEIGHWAY were life long residents ofFulton county. Mr. Heighway was
especially well known over the county, having taughtschool at Kewanna and laterhe was elected trustee

ofHenry township. He had resided for many years onhis farm onthe Ft. Wayne road, east ofRochester
andalmost duenorth of Athens. He was little more than 50years of age.
Mrs. Heighway about 42 years of age, was formerly Miss Myrtie KESSLER, daughter ofMrs. M. L.
KESSLER, of Chicago. She is survived by the mother anda sister, Mrs. William KING, also of

Chicago. Mr. Heighway is survived by a brother, Colfax HEIGHWAY, ofNewcastle township, and a
sister, Mrs. Anna LEININGER, who also resides east of Rochester.

The daughter, Mrs. WorthLONG, is survived by her husband. She lived on a farm near Akron.

The motorman of the interurban car.Grant HILLIARD, of Warsaw, is said byAkron residents to be
noted for the manner in which he operates his car. Heis said to be negligent and his car has figured in
several accidents recently, the last onethe only onein which therewere any fatalities. There wasno
testimony offered up to the Sentinel's press time as to whether or not the motorman had blown his
whistle for the crossing.

It was later learned that Mr. and Mrs. Heighway had motored from Macy, where heis the principal of
the schools, to their farm north ofAthens, where their daughter and her husband reside. Mrs. Long
accompanied them from there to the interurban crossing, where the family intended to takea car to
Mentone, where they expected to attend the funeral of an uncle. They had driven across the tracks to the

cross roads, where they turned the automobile around andwere driving back across to park the caruntil
they had returned from Mentone, when they were struck.

In the next instant this passenger. Lot LOSEY, ofPlymouth, well known here, felt an impact as the
mtemrban struck the auto and when the car came to astop he dashed out to see what had happened
He it was who first reached Mr. Heighway, whom he found in aditch, his body badly mutilated and
already lifeless^He then looked about and went to where the daughter was lying. As he turned her over
he discovered that she too was dead and another passenger on the car had already reached the mother

Mrs. Heighway, also found horribly mutilated and already dead.

The crossing where the accident occurred is open, aclear view ofthe track being afforded from either
direction. Mr. Heighway is believed to have stalled his motor while on the tracks when he evidently saw
the swiftly approaching trolley. Mr. Losey says that it is his beliefthat the motorman ofthe car was
absolutely free from blame, especially in view ofthe fact that the motorman's stoiy and that oftwo eye
wtnesses ot the tragedy corroborate in all details. The motorman is said to have collapsed immediately

after stopping his car.
