Oliver Heath aged 62 years, of Indianapolis, Ind., one of the oldest active conductors on the Lake Erie & Western railroad, died at the Lima hospital last Monday evening as the result of injuries sustained, when he was thrown from a train at St. Marys last Sunday shortly after noon. Mr. Heath was a conductor on the Indianapolis division of the road, but last Sunday was given charge of the special train, which brought the Concordia Singing Society from Indianapolis to this city, where they spent the day at Mercelina Park.

Conductor Heath stepped unto the platform just as the train hit a sharp curve in the city, and was thrown several feet to the ground. He was picked up unconscious and after being given medical attention at St. Marys was taken on through to Lima. One of his arms was broken, his back badly sprained and his skull crushed. He did not regain consciousness. He is survived by his wife and one brother, a former conductor on this branch of the Lake Erie.
