    There has been much reference to Wm Heath, both Sr. and Jr. on this forum in connection with Rutherford.

    I did some research on the connection of Heath Sr. with Coca Cola and it seems to be non existent except on websites where Rutherford is being discussed. I could find no connection anywhere else.

    Can anyone enlighten me on this matter?

    William Pratt Heath Sr lived from 1975 to 1950.

    Even though he was a vice president of a Coca Cola company, there appears to be no information about him online other than as you mentioned in the Rutherford threads.

    There does, however,exist a Coca Cola museum, there probably is information about him there.

    What I would like to know is if there are any papers or other documentation still existing that would show Heath Sr. as the one who made the "direct donation" for the house Beth Sarim.

    startingover,

    I don't have the time to do it, but here is where you should start.

    The World of Coca Cola has a museum in Atlanta, GA where Heath Sr. worked. Here is all the contact info you need, or you can search "World of Coca Cola" in your browser and snoop around.

    The World of Coca Cola
    121 Baker St. NW
    Atlanta, GA 30313-1807

    For me, it doesn't really matter where Heath Sr. got his money. He obviously had a lot of it, so research on!

    Wm Heath, Sr. Obituary

    New York Times, 2 Dec. 1950, 13.

    DR. WILLIAM P. HEATH, PIONEER IN COCA-COLA

    ATLANTA. Dec. 1 (AP) - Dr. William Pratt Heath, a pioneer chemist in the development of Coca-Cola, died today after an illness of two weeks. His age was 75. One of the few men who knew the Coca-Cola formula, he retired in 1949.

    Born in Boswell, Ga. Dr. Heath was graduated as a chemical engineer from Georgia Tech and became a chemist with the old Pratt Laboratories here. He was the founder of the Crystal Carbonic Company, manufacturers of the carbonic gas essential in the early development of Coca-Cola.

    The Coca-Cola company absorbed his company in 1919, and he became a vice president of Coca-Cola in charge of quality control.

    Dr. Heath also was consultant for the Crown Cork and Seal Company, Baltimore; the Pure Carbonic Company of New York and the International Filter Company of Chicago.

    Surviving are his widow: a daughter, Mrs. Eugene R. Black of Washington, wife of the president of the International Bank, and a son, W. P. Heath Jr. of Julian, Calif.
