About Bishop Anthony P. Heatwole
Heatwole.-Bishop Anthony P. Heatwole, son of Joseph and Lydia (Rhodes) Heatwole, was born near Dayton, Va., April 23, 1855; departed this life Dec. 20, 1935, near Waynesboro, Va.; aged 8O y. 7 m. 26 d. He was united in marriage to Bettie Etter of Dayton, Ohio, Jan. 14, 1877. To this union were born 10 children, 5 of whom preceded him in death. His aged, faithful companion, 2 sons (one a minister), 3 daughters, 18 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren, 1 brother, 2 sisters, with a number of other relatives and friends are left to mourn his passing. He with his family moved from Rockingham Co., to Augusta Co., Va., in the fall of 1880, where he lived an active and useful life for the churches in the upper district of Virginia. He was ordained deacon at the Hildebrand Church Dec. 27, 1885, and a minister June 26, 1887, at Springdale Church, and a bishop at the same place Dec. 3, 1891. He labored in these special offices for 50 years. Only the last year he asked not to be on the calendar of appointments and preached only a few times. He was, however, a regular attendant at services, and frequently opened or closed the meetings. He failed fast in the last year. Just two weeks before his death he met with the council for some important Church work for the last time. The conference has lost a stalwart defender of the faith, for when it was at all possible he was at his post and gave voice to what he thought was best for the Church. He was faithful in visiting the sick and fulfilling all other duties of an obedient shepherd. Funeral services in the afternoon of Dec. 22 in charge of Bishop J. R. Driver. Service at the house by A. H. Showalter. Those assisting in the services were E. C. Shank, A. B. Burkholder, S. H. Rhodes (who preached the sermon), Lewis Shank, Jacob Heatwole, and J. L. Stauffer.
