GEORGE W. HEARD



George W. Heard, merchant and prominent citizen of Belmont, was born in Perry

County, Alabama, April 11, 1854, his parents moving to Union parish in 1855,

when he spent his boyhood days.  In 1875 he was married to Miss Frances

Goocher, and in 1876 he moved to Belmont where he engaged in farming and later

in the mercantile business.  He has been postmaster at that place for more

than twenty years and has served as a member of the Parish School Board.  He

is esteemed as a citizen of unquestionable integrity and splendid character

and has always been found on the side of every move for the moral and material

advancement of the parish.  Six children were born to his marriage, three of

whom are living: Mrs. Judia Callens of Many, Mrs. Alma Owens of Mississippi,

and G. B. Heard, the popular agent of the Kansas City Southern Railway at

Benson, La.
