General Notes: Husband - Michael Beamer
He was educated in the district schools, and was brought up to regard agriculture as his lifework. He, however, engaged in mercantile business in Boquet, Pennsylvania, for several years. He commenced the manufacture of hickory handles in 1861, establishing himself in business in a small way. By industry, thrift, and excellent management, this grew to large proportions. The business was conducted under the firm name of M. Beamer & Son, beginning in 1886, his youngest son, William J., became associated with him, and in 1903 it was incorporated under the name of The Beamer Handle Manufacturing Company, Manor, Pennsylvania. In the same year they erected what could have been considered the finest handle factory in the world. They employed between fifty and sixty men and their goods were shipped to all parts of the world. Beginning at the first establishment of his business, Mr. Beamer devoted his entire time and attention to the interests involved. He never sought preferment in church matters, but was a member and regular attendant at the Reformed church, of which he was an elder for many years, and frequently a delegate to the synod. He was a member of the American Order of United Workmen.
He had one child with his first wife and three children with the second.
