Residence: 1911: Brown Township, Linn County, Iowa

An account of Edwin Heald in The Pioneer Publishing Company's History of Linn County Iowa, published 1911, tells that he attended Friends Boaording School at Mount Pleasant, Ohio. In 1875, he came to Iowa, and in 1885 he went south, intending to settle in Arkansas where the weather was less severe and fruit growing easier. He found the country in Arkansas unsatisfactory and turned west, landing in Lane County, Kansas. There he stayed three and a half years, until he decided the opportunities were better in Iowa. In Brown township, Edwin Heald served on the local school board, and was a township trustee.
