The following information was given to me by Ed Revell.

I have new information for Sylvester S Heath son of John Heath b.15 June 1803, NC, m Sarah

Sylvester S Heath was born in Hamilton County, Indiana on 20 March 1847 and died on 10 October 1925 in Seattle, King County, WA. I have a copy of his Spokane, WA obituary that inclures a photo and a three page bio extracted from the Spokane and the Inland Empire Book. He lived in Walla Walla, WA in 1878 and moved to Spokane, WA in 1879. He was considred a founder a pioneer of Spokane. He married Ida E Ellis (daughter of Asbury E Ellis) in Spokane on 4 June 1882. His mothers name was Sarah Glass. His mother and father were natives of Clark County, Indiana. His dad died in 1897. Sylvester's brothers include Robert H of Collins, Iowa; and C A Heath of Indianapolis, Indiana. His sisters include Eliza A wife of Marion Brandon of Noblesville, Indiana; Elizabeth the wife of J W Kimberland of Holcomb, Kansas; and Polly Ann widow of Andrew Yaryen of Fortville, Indiana. Sylvester lived in Indianapolis from 1870 to 1878. Sylvester S Heath was the third Postmaster of Spokane. He served in the Civil War as a member of the state guard but saw no action. He entered as a private and mustered out three years later (1865) as a 1st Lieutenant. I have his unit number (I think it was the 77th Illinois Calvary) but I will have to verify it. A home he built in 1899 at 1017 E. Mission in Spokane still stands and is registered as a historic home. It is a Queen Anne style. He donated the land and provided other financial support for development of the Heath Branch of the Carnegie Library at Gonzaga University in Spokane.
