General Notes: Husband - Washington Beale, Jr.

---

He settled near the paternal homestead and engaged in farming and stock raising. To him the people of that section are indebted for at least one practical, noteworthy advance. Seeing the necessity for a better class of heavy draft horses in the manufacturing districts, he went to England in 1859 and purchased and imported into America the first English draft horses ever brought into western Pennsylvania. From these horses descended the fine stock for which the locality became noted. His son, Joseph G. Beale, also took considerable interest in this matter, and in 1875, after a visit to Scotland with his father, imported a superb draft horse from that country.

He was a very successful farmer, and conducted the occupation on large scale. In 1857 he made his first trip to England after horses, and was the first importer of heavy draft horses in Pennsylvania. Of the four head with which he started for America, two were lost in a storm, but though unfortunate in his first venture, he did not give up, but made three trips afterwards with better success. At the time of his death, he owned several large farms, was a stockholder in the Leechburg steel mills, and a stockholder in the Freeport National bank, of which he was also a director. He and his wife were members of the Freeport Presbyterian church.
