Obituary sent by Barbara WHEATON 24/2/2010
"Many Pay Tribute to Ralph M. HEATH
A large crowd filled the Baptist church and additional friends heard the services in the basement of the church Sunday afternoon as friends and relatives gathered to pay their respects to Ralph M. HEATH who died Thursday morning.

Services were conducted by Rev. George C. HUTTO assisted by Rev. T.T. LAYTON of Meade, and Rev. M.O. WHEATON of Scott City. Miss Katherine CROWDER sang "Let Not Your Heart be Troubled". Marlin KELLY, Cecil DAVIS, Charles BRISENDINE, and L.D. WELCH sang "Take Time to be Holy", and "Does Jesus Care". Mrs. Vern S. CROWDER was the accompanist. Members of Mr. HEATH's Sunday School Class served as honorary pallbearers. Pallbearers were John HARDWICK, Joe PITTMAN, Homer HAWKINS, O.M. NIX, Harvey FRANKLIN and C. D. AMES Interment was in the Liberal Cemetery.

Ralph MASON, son of David H. and Sarah HEATH was born in a log cabin in Milan, Ohio, Dec 3, 1872, and departed this life Jan 22, 1948, at the age of 75 years.

With his parents he came to Fargo Springs, Seward county, Kansas, arriving by stage coach from Garden City the evening of April 8, 1886. Along with his brothers he grew to manhood on their father's homestead on the Stevens-Seward county line where they experience the hard work and the not too many enjoyable pastimes of pioneer youth.

In 1900 he filed on a homestead in the same secion of land where he resided at the time of his passing. It was also in this same year that he was employed as a teacher in the schools of the new town of Liberal, a position which he occuped for four years, contributing effectively to the foundation work of the education system of this pioneer community. Also he served in the capacity of county superintendent of Seward county.

He was married on Nov 3 1901 to Cora COATS of Tyrone, Oklahoma, and after finishing work in the schools they moved to their land near Liberal where they established the home that was to be an inspiration of happiness both to themselves and they many friends the rest of his long and useful life.

Though the usual hardships and disillusionment shattered the courage of many early settlers, they seemed both to fortify and challenge that of men like Ralph HEATH. Any enterprise involving the finer things of life for his community and his fellow man found in him a staunch enthusiast. Endowed with a rare combination of good judgment, optimism and a sparkling wit, he was found always championing the cause of the right and wholesome, defending them with equal vigor and determination against those things which he considered detrimental to himself and his fellows.

He was early affiliated with the religious life and welfare of his community growing in capacity and in influence as he grew in years and in wisdom, giving unstintingly of his means, his time and his very life to the support of his church. His was the happy privilege to live a sincere Christian life, the kind of which most men would love to live, but few attain.

He was highly instrumental in the organization of the Bethel Baptist church in his home community some thirty-eight years ago. In later years when economic conditions and decreased population brought the discontinuance of the church, he with his wife transferred their affiliation to the Liberal church were he was a valuable member at the time of his death. For a number of years he was a member of the board of trustees of Ottawa University. Few are the enterprises of his church in the southwest territory that have not felt the benefit of his council and encouragement. He enjoyed a wide acquaintance and reputation as a Christian gentleman in other denominations than his own, a tribute to him as a Christian leader.

He is survived by his good wife and three daughters, Estelle CARR of Anthony; Elnore MALIN of Liberal, and Freda JACKSON of Wichita. One daughter Myreta Grace, preceded him in death. Also to mourn his passing are six grandchildren and one brother Walter W. HEATH of Paul, Idaho, six nieces, two nephews, several distant relatives and a multitude of those, near and far, who were privileged to know him and call him, Friend.

No greater tribute could be made to his memory than that the challenge of his good life be met by all who knew him to leave this world just a bit better for their having lived here."

1920 South Randall Township, Thomas Co, Kansas, USA as A B WHEATON

I was sent information that John and Sarah had another grandson, Albert B, but no details of his parents so I added him as a child of an "Unknown" child of John and Sarah. The following was Barbara WHEATON's reply.

Information from Barbara WHEATON 2/1/2010
"I have found no source that names another child for John and Sarah. However, that said, Allie B. WHEATON's birth is listed in Sarah's book, copies of which I received years ago from Dee & Wally MALIN.

Allie is listed among other known grandchildren of Sarah and John Wheaton. He is then listed in their son John Edward's household in 1880 as nephew. I believe it is possible that he is Phebe M. WHEATON's child, either Ed DARE's child who went by WHEATON or a child out of wedlock. Further, he is with Phebe in her brother in law Charlie WRIGHT's household in 1895 Kansas census and 1900 Kansas federal census."

I have therefore included Albert as a son of Phoebe with unknown father.
