GEORGE CLINTON HEIL.—In recording the names of the representative ranchers of
Imperial County, prominent mention should be made of the man whose name heads
this review. He is a native son and was born in Santa Ana, California. His
father, Joseph P., was a native of New York, and his mother was a native of
Kansas. In his father's family there were eight children. In 1888 Mr. HeiFs
parents came from Topeka, Kansas, to California, where they remained one year.
Returning to Kansas, the family remained there until 1902, when they sold out
and returned to the Golden State and located at Santa Ana. Here they remained
until 1907, and in 1908 came to Imperial County and located in El Centro. Mr.
Heil's father purchased the Valley Steam Laundry and operated it successfully
for about four years. His death occurred in El Centro in 1916 and the remains
were placed in the cemetery at Santa Ana. Mr. Heil's mother still resides in El
Centro. George Clinton, the subject of this sketch, was born October 27, 1888.
He acquired his education in the public schools of Santa Ana and El Centro,
California. He graduated from the El Centro high school with the class of 1910,
and for a period of seven months attended Stanford University at Palo Alto,
California. Completing his studies, he returned to El Centro and was identified
with his father for a time. Mr. Heil's mother has a ranch of 120 acres, which
has been brought up to a high state of cultivation. George C. has the management
of eighty acres, while his brother has charge of forty acres. George C. was
united in marriage with Miss Irma McClure, a native of Illinois, November 1,
1910. To this union have been born Lewis Clinton and Irma Katheryne. Mr. and
Mrs. Heil have a host of friends in El Centro and surrounding country and they
have the esteem of all who know them.
