Funeral services from the Baptist church at Rochester Friday afternoon, the cortege to leave the residence in Newcastle township at one o'clock. Burial at I.O.O.F. cemetery. Maria Louisa HEIGHWAY, daughter of Peter and Christiana SMITH, was born near Laurelton, Union Co., Penn., on April 20th, 1843. She was called to her last reward Nov. 8th, 1921, aged 78 years, 6 months and 18 days. When 15 years of age, she was converted and united with the M.E. church at Laurelton, Penn. The following year her father with his family came to Indiana and settled in Fulton county. She taught a summer school in '61 and the next year while going to a select school at Rochester, she heard that two of her three brothers were wounded at the battle of Chicamauga. She started at once for the southland to care for them, making the journey alone. She found Jerry [SMITH] in a field hospital with a slight wound but could find nothing of John [SMITH], but subsequently learned that he had been captured and taken to Andersonville, where he finally died. She stayed for some time mending clothing for the soldiers. After coming back she taught school in Kosciusko county, where she became acquainted with and was married to Albert H. HEIGHWAY on Nov. 15th, 1864. To this union were born three sons, Frank P. [HEIGHWAY], of Crown Point, Henry C. [HEIGHWAY], of Rochester and John D. [HEIGHWAY], who with his wife and daughter, preceded her in death on March 29th, 1921. One daughter, Anna LEININGER, of Akron. She with her husband were charter members when the Bethlehem Baptist church was organized, and lived consistent members until she received her last call, having seen all her children following in the footsteps of her Master. She found it a pleasure to read her Bible every day and when not able, had someone to read to her. She had been in poor health for several years and when the news came that her youngest son, with his entire family had met death in an accident, it was more of a shock than her frail body could stand and she never fully recovered from it. She was the last one of a family of eight children. She leaves besides the husband, two sons, one daughter, and four grandchildren besides a legion of friends to mourn the loss of a loving wife, mother and friend. - - SOURCE: Fulton County Indiana Obituaries - 1921 by Jean C. and Wendell C.
