OBITUARY 

 Edwin Firm stone Heath 



We regret to record the death of Mr. E. Firmstone Heath, of 

 the Hermitage, Cartwright, Man. For some time he had been ill, 

 but not until the early days of April was he confined to his bed. 

 When medical aid was summoned it was found that his heart was 

 in a very critical condition, and this was accompanied by 

 congestion of the lungs. After five weeks of intense suffering he 

 died on May 14th, 1914. 



Mr. Heath was born at Standhill, Kingswinford, County of 

 Stafford, England, on August 9th, 1840. He was the eldest son of 

 the late Edwin Heath of the 88th Regiment (Connought Rangers). 

 He inherited a love for entomology from his father, and at an 

 early age began to form a collection of insects. For the last 25 

 years he studied the insects of Manitoba, more particularly the 

 Lepidoptera. He was a most enthusiastic collector, and brought 

 together a representative collection of the Lepidoptera of that 

 province. The late J. B. Smith corresponded regularly with him
