11 LIONEL HEATH CALLED BY DEATH
Old Pioneer Dies From His Injuries Received in a Runaway
Death last evening claimed Lionel M. Heath, a pioneer resident of the city and valley. His passing may probably lie traced directly to tie severe injuries he received about three weeks ag0 when his team ran away while coming down the Swarthout Canyon Road from his ranch throwing him out. Ills condition grew gradually worse from that time, he being unable to rally because of his advanced age, 84 years. He came to this valley from Utah and for some years resided in Colton [CA], but later removed to San Bernardino, and his home has since been here. He leaves a son, Harry Heath, of this city and Swarthout canyon, and several children in the east. Several stepchildren also survive him. beside a wife. In the later years of his life he had developed quite a ranch .property in the Swarthout country, and was also Interested tn a considerable extent in mining properties. He was a member of the Pioneer Society and his passing takes another from the ranks of the fast lessening number of old pioneers of the valley. Tide body was last night removed to the parlor of the Mark H. Shaw company pending the completion of the funeral arrangements.
