GEORGE W. HEALD, farmer, sec. 2, Millbrook Tp., was born in Oswego Co., N.Y., 
May 27, 1853.  He is a son 

of William and Rosetta (Fitzch) Heald, natives of New York and of English 
descent.  The family removed to 

Van Buren Co., Mich., in 1858, where Mr. Heald assisted his father on a farm 
until the autumn of 1863, 

when another remove was made to Ionia County, the father and son operating 
there as lumbermen two years.  

In the fall of 1865 they came to Millbrook, settled on sec. 2, and started the 
first grocery in the 

township, managing farming interests in connection therewith.  The grocery 
business was finally suspended.

Mr. Heald was married May 27, 1880, in Wheatland Tp., to Maggie, daughter of 
David and Agnes (Smith) 

Ruxton, who was born in Huron Co., Can., July 2, 1863; her parents were also 
natives of Canada.  When she 

was 12 years old she came to Michigan with an elder sister.  Mr. and Mrs. 
Heald have one child, Alfred R., 

born Jan. 27, 1882.  Mr. Heald is a Republican in politics, and owns a farm 
containing 40 acres of land.
