H. A. Heathwood (c.1847-?) was born in New Brunswick, Canada, and died in an unknown location. She became interested in Christian Science in 1884 and received class instruction from Huldah P. Read and Arthur T. Buswell, both students of Mary Baker Eddy's. After studying with Read and Buswell, Heathwood embarked on a career as an itinerant Christian Science practitioner and teacher, working in Illinois, Colorado, and Montana. She was never listed in the directory of The Christian Science Journal and never joined The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts.
