Also on the page.  Kenneth Foreman owned the "little store*" about a couple of hundred feet from the house where I grew up in Warren PA.  I graduated with his son John.  (Foreman's Market, a corner grocery store that didn't survive the 1960s.  Like most of the rest of them in town.)

• [county section] Ferrie Heath Bx 23 Russell
• [county section] Ferrie Myrtle Bx 23 Russell

What a coincidence!  'Myrtle' takes off just as 'Heath' shows up.  (I figured I'd do a daily double as I suspect I'm not likely to see 'Myrtle' again anytime soon.

As for the sudden popularity of 'Heath', we have Lee Majors to thank.
