General Notes: Husband - Samuel Long Beaver


His birthplace was an old log house on the farm he later owned, which was the old Beaver homestead. When he was fifteen years old, he helped to carry the brick for the house in which he later lived. He attended the common schools, held for three months in the winter season, but his schooling was sometimes shortened by his being called upon to do extra work on the farm, and during busy seasons his assistance in the farm work was given constantly. He continued at home until he was twenty-one years of age, when he became a clerk in the store of his brother-in-law, at Millersburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. His tastes naturally inclined him to mercantile business and he might perhaps have found his life occupation in that line; but at the end of seven months spent in the store, the hay harvest came with its urgent demand for additional help on the farm, and his father sent for him to come home. His return proved to be the determining move of his life, for he never again left the farm, but continued with his father, and took charge of the farming operations until he was thirty-one years old.
After his marriage Mr. Beaver conducted their old home farm for three years; he then bought a farm of 100 acres in Perry valley, which he cultivated for twelve years; he then returned and purchased and occupied the old homestead, taking care of his parents as long as they lived.
He was a staunch and true Republican; he served as school director and as county auditor. First, he was connected with the Methodist church, but was later a member of the United Brethren church, and always contributed generously to the cause of benevolence and religion.
During the Civil war he was drafted for service, but after medical examination at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, was rejected.
