Myrtle Penelope HEATH was the daughter of Thomas Heath and Deborah Bell Nethercut, widow of Loftus Nethercut daughter of Penelope Creech and Henry Cobb Bell. She was their only child. Aunt Myrt was half-sister of my great g. mom, Trumella Nethercut Dawson, wife of AT Dawson of Institute.
My grandfather, Guy Dawson was only 8 years younger than Aunt Myrt and at one time operated a store at Institute with her.
