He was 62 years, 7 months and 10 days old at the time of his death, having spent his entire life in the same school district.

He was united in marriage to Zella Lewis of Newton, on Nov. 27, 1907. To this union were born six sons, five of whom survive him, John Gilmour having died June 13, 1920, at the age of two years.

Burial was in the Mr. Liberty cemetery near Oak Hill.

Mr. Heald was devoted to his home, and was most contented with his family at his own fireside. His neighbors could always depend on his help in time of need. He gave much of his time for the benefit of his community, holding township offices, doing Farm Bureau work, and busing himself with other activities for the benefit of his community. Each of the five sons was graduated from Sunnyside school District No 45, the same school their father attended, and where Zella Lewis taught before her marriage to Mr. Heald.

Clark married Zella Hall Lewis. Zella was born on 29 Apr 1883 in Newton, Harvey County, Kansas, United States; died on 2 Jun 1983 in Salina, Saline County, Kansas, United States; was buried in Mount Liberty Church Cemetery, Oak Hill, Ottawa County, Kansas, United States.

Obituary
Catherine Gilmour, daughter of Arthur and Mary Gilmour, was born near Ogdensburg, New York, March 16, 1846 and was educated in the schools there and there taught school.
After the family moved to Iowa, she was married in 1866 to Clark Heald. In 1872 they moved to Waubaunsee County, Kansas and thence to Ottawa County in 1874, taking a homestead. They lived in Grant Township many years.
Mrs. Heald was at one time president of the Womens Relief Corps and it was while serving as patriotic instructor that she became instrumental in placing flags in the churches and schools of Minneapolis. The results are still telling their own story to our youth.
She was a good woman, gentle of speech and manner, and loved to do a good deed in a kind and unobtrusive way. She loved music and good books and reading brought her many hours of comfort and pleasure in her late years. She had known all too well of the hardships of the pioneer wife and mother.
