I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the HEALD Family of Iowa.
The first is a photograph of F. D. HEALD which was taken at the Williams
Studio in Fairfield, IA. The photograph appears to have been taken in the
early 1900's with F. D. likely in his 30's or 40's at the time it was taken.
The second photograph is identified as that of Adelaid HEALD which was also
taken at the Williams Studio in Fairfield. Adelaid is just 8 weeks old at
the time the photograph was taken and weighs 13 lbs. and 4 ounces.
Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information
regarding this HEALD Family:
Fred Deforest HEALD b. 1872 in Midland City, MI, married Nellie TOWNLEY b.
1874 in Fairfield, IA on 27 Dec 1899 in Fairfield, IA.
Fred was the son of Henry HEALD and Hattie CHARLES
Nellie was the daughter of Geo W. TOWNLEY and Addie FREEMAN
Census records provide the following information:

I am hoping to locate someone from this HEALD Family so that the photographs
can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family,
or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
