Heath loved the history of his family and enjoyed sharing it with others. I made a personal visit to his home in Minco about 11 years ago in search of info on his grandmother, Orpha Adora [Null] Baugh-Foreman-Hoover, who was the 3rd wife of my great grandfather, John Wesley Hoover. JC shared stories and entertaining memories of his grandmother, as well as his mother, with me and generously gave me several photos of these two ladies and himself. He brought that part of my family to life for me. His kindness and love of family history has never been forgotten by this family historian. Shirley Horn~Bray |
