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.
