Biographical Edition, with a Biography of Benjamin S. Heath by Louisa M. Heath. Louisa writes, "Mr. Heath's one marked weakness, if it be a weakness, was too great confidence in the integrity and honor of his fellow men. Scrupulously upright himself in all his dealings, he was inclined to judge others by his own standard of integrity. He often said that he could not, and would not, harbor suspicions against his fellow-men who seemed fair and honest; he rather be deceived and betrayed a thousand times than to cultivate and cherish this ignoble spirit in his heart.".
