General Notes: Husband - William Beall

---

Hanover Twp, Washington Co, PA

When a young man he learned the blacksmith's trade at Frankfort, Pennsylvania, which he followed a year and a half. He then sustained an injury which necessitated his temporary absence from the anvil, and finally compelled him to abandon the business. He returned to the farm, and followed rural pursuits until 1852; then joined in the California Argonauts, making the trip from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Placerville (then "Hangtown"), California, in 104 days. He remained in California six years and eight months, returning via Aspinwall, Panama City and New York, and resumed work on his father's farm.
After his marriage he located on a farm which he had previously purchased near Florence, Pennsylvania, and when the old homestead was sold in 1864, he purchased it, and took up his residence there. He cultivated small fruits, and was once interested in the wool business, but later devoted his principal attention to a dairy. In politics Mr. Beall was a lifelong Democrat, taking an active interest in his party. Both he and his wife were members of the United Presbyterian Church at Paris.
