His health had not been the best for the past three years and he was quite ill about two weeks ago, but had improved and had done his usual work that day. About four o'clock in the afternoon of that day, he spoke to his daughter, Mrs. Roy Hays, of a severe pain in his chest. He had many admirable qualities; a good neighbor, loved and respected by everyone; a loving husband and father, who will be mourned by relatives and friends of the valley, where he has been at home for nearly one-half century. Porter Heard, who was the second son of the late Kennon G. and Mary Jane Heard, was born in Claeborn Parish, LA, May 27, 1860. He was married to Mary F. Paschel, Dec. 20, 1882, at St. Joe, Texas. With his parents, he crossed the plains from Texas, taking them six months to make the journey with ox teams, arriving in Surprise Valley, Oct. 10, 1833. Since that time he has lived in Lake City until his death, Feb. 6, 1931, being 70 years, 9 months and 21 days of age. His parents and three infant daughters and one brother proceeded him to the grave many years ago. He is survived by his wife and one daughter, Mrs. Roy Heard, three sons, Loyd, Earl and Ray, of Colusa, Cal., nine grandchildren, two sisters, Mrs. Jane Jones, of Lake City and Mrs. Maggie Wilson, of Sacramento; six brothers, T. F. Heard, of Looking Glass, Ore., C. C. Heard, of Medford, Ore., K. G. Heard, of Willows; P. K. Heard, of Fresno, Cal., F. S. and William Heard, of Lake City, Cal. He was converted and united with the Baptist Church in Texas at the age of fourteen years. Funeral services were held at the Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Elder T. M. Tankersley, the pastor, in which church the departed had held a membership for many years; he was laid to rest in the Lake City cemetery. Those attending the funeral from a distance were K. G. Heard and two sons, Fred and Roy and Mrs. Roy Heard, of Willows, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Heard, of Colusa and Mrs. Maggie Wilson, of Sacramento."
