Biography/History
Frederick DeForest Heald was born on July 23, 1872 in Midland City, Michigan. He was educated at the Universities of Wisconsin and Leipzig and was awarded his Ph.D. in 1897. From 1897 to 1915 he held positions at Parsons College, the University of Nebraska, the University of Texas, the State of Pennsylvania and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In 1915, he came to Washington State University as professor of plant pathology and also served as plant pathologist at the Washington Agricultural Experiment Station. In 1918, he became Chairman of the Department of Plant Pathology. He retired in 1941 and died on April 24, 1954. He was survived by his second wife and his three children.
Scope and Content
The papers of F. D. Heald date from 1905 to 1955, with most of them dating from 1928 to 1932. Series I is extensive and consists of a card file on plant diseases. Series II is comprised of copies of publications by F. D. Heald, as well as some of his unpublished work. Although Series III contains two more Heald papers, the bulk of it is the work of other men on pertinent subjects. Thus, this series serves as a reference file. The card file in Series I was not reorganized in any way; in Series II and III there was some reordering, and some material was shifted from one series to the other.
Arrangement
The papres are arranged in three series. Series I is extensive and consists of a card file on plant diseases. Series II is comprised of copies of publications by F. D. Heald, as well as some of his unpublished work. Although Series III contains two more Heald papers, the bulk of it is the work of other men on pertinent subjects. Thus, this series serves as a reference file. The card file in Series I was not reorganized in any way; in Series II and III there was some reordering, and some material was shifted from one series to the other.
